Case Study: Epiris achieves real-time legal spend clarity with Apperio

Epiris gains near real-time legal spend visibility with Apperio

Epiris, a UK-based private equity investor, faced a challenge with the lack of transparency and real-time visibility into its legal spend on transactions. Their historical discussions with law firms about fees were opaque and occurred only after costs had been incurred, making it difficult to manage budgets proactively. To address this, they implemented Apperio's legal spend management and matter tracking platform.

Using Apperio's solution provided Epiris with near real-time insight into how legal fees were being spent, allowing them to see work done by entire specialist teams and not just the lead partner. This enabled proactive conversations to flag and redirect time spent on lower-priority issues before costs escalated. The key result was a shared, mutual view of spend that replaced after-the-fact fee negotiations, bringing greater clarity and more productive collaboration with their law firms.
