Our take

The UK legal services sector was worth £35 billion in 2018 and is predicted to grow at more than 5% per year.

Spend on legal services in the UK is huge, but according to research, 9/10 legal departments don't know what they've spent on external legal counsel in the last year. Apperio thinks this is largely because of the poor quality of the 25 year old practice management systems that are used to keep track of billings.

By integrating with law firm practice management systems, Apperio's new technology can solve these issues and give legal teams real-time visibility of their spending. This will lead to fewer spending errors and give teams more visibility over how much they're spending on external counsel.

If Apperio can take a small slice of the spend in the market by helping customers reduce their spend, they'll be able to create a substantial business.
