How a mid-market PE firm used Bodhala Analytics combined with Bodhala Benchmarking to decrease proposed rate increases by 75%

Mid-Market PE Firm faced another proposed rate increase from their AmLaw 20 firm but wanted to manage costs without damaging a long-standing relationship. To assess and challenge the increase, they engaged Bodhala, using Bodhala Analytics and Bodhala Benchmarking to run a year‑over‑year rate analysis and compare rates to the market.

Bodhala supplied actionable data and a dedicated Client Success Manager who helped craft a data-driven negotiation strategy and talk track. With Bodhala’s analytics and benchmarking, the firm pushed the proposed increases down from 12%+ to 3% (a 75% reduction), delivering eight‑figure savings and turning a qualitative discussion into an objective, data-driven conversation.
