From Defending Spend To Managing It

Legal departments have long struggled to translate their work into the language the rest of the business speaks: spend, ROI, performance, accountability. Twenty-five in-house teams told RSGI that PERSUIT is the system that finally makes that translation possible. They cited cost avoidance ranging from $500,000 to over $30mn, ROI visible in weeks rather than years, and a measurable shift in how Legal is perceived at the CFO and CEO level.

What they shared is a consistent finding: PERSUIT delivers fast, visible and defensible ROI and changes how the legal function is perceived by the business.

To measure what that shift means in practice, global intelligence agency RSGI interviewed 25 in-house legal teams using PERSUIT. Participating organizations ranged from under $10M to more than $250M in annual external legal spend — with more than half exceeding $100M per year. Here’s what they found.
