Case Study: Large Oil & Gas Corporation achieves 16% reduction in legal fees with Apperio

Leading British Oil and Gas corporation reduces legal fees by 16% after implementing Apperio’s innovative legal transparency platform

Large Oil & Gas Corporation, one of Britain’s leading oil and gas companies, struggled with a lack of visibility into legal fees: manual Excel-based tracking, no real-time data, surprise invoices and a disconnected General Counsel. To solve this, the company engaged Apperio and its legal transparency/spend-tracking platform to replace ad-hoc spreadsheets and provide continuous fee oversight.

Apperio deployed a front-end platform integrated with eight partner law firms in four weeks, delivering real-time views of billed fees and work-in-progress, automated data flows and analytics. Within 12 months Large Oil & Gas Corporation reduced legal fees by 16%, achieved a 10.7x ROI, sped reporting from weeks to minutes, cut inefficiencies and disputes, and improved relationships with its law firms.
