Case Study: Epiris achieves real-time visibility and control over legal spend with Apperio

Epiris - Customer Case Study

Epiris, a UK private equity investor (target enterprise value £75m–£500m), faced opaque and unpredictable legal fees on transactions that typically ranged from £500,000 to £1m. Breakdowns from law firms arrived after the fact and Epiris lacked real‑time insight into who was spending time on which issues, so the firm turned to Apperio’s legal spend management and matter‑tracking platform to gain timely visibility and control.

Since implementing Apperio in 2018, Epiris’s investment and finance teams can see historical and unbilled work‑in‑progress connected directly to law firms’ systems, spot when too much time is spent on low‑priority issues, and have prompt conversations to “dial back” unnecessary work. Apperio delivered clearer, near‑real‑time transparency and greater predictability around high‑value legal spend, enabling Epiris to manage costs more proactively.
