Last week, Priori’s VP of Client Strategy, Matthew Wheatley, and VP of Software, Becky Regan, joined legal operations leaders from across the country at the Consero Corporate Legal Operations Forum.

Matt led a KnowledgeBridge session titled "From Guesswork to Guidance: How AI Will Shape the Future of Legal RFPs", where legal leaders discussed how AI could transform outside counsel management, and what’s standing in the way.

Here are some of the real-time insights that emerged during the session:

- Many teams are running RFPs regularly but still relying on manual, siloed processes
- AI is being used in isolated tasks, but not yet to guide firm selection
- Right-sourcing and benchmarking are top of mind, but hard to operationalize without cleaner data

When done right, RFPs mean better scopes, better timelines, and better partnerships for all. Next week, Lindsay Gotwald, Todd Rovner & Basha Rubin break it down from their in-house and law firm perspectives: https://resources.priorilegal.com/webinar-how-rfps-work

Legal departments rely on RFPs to find the right counsel, drive value, and shift to AFAs—and when done right, they can be strategically powerful. But poorly designed RFPs waste time and strain relationships. While you’re evaluating firms, they’re deciding if your RFP is a real opportunity—or a red flag.

We’re hosting a candid discussion with Lindsay Gotwald, Chief Client Development & Marketing Officer at Faegre Drinker and Todd Rovner, Director of Outside Counsel Engagement and Program Management at RTX on how RFPs work from the firm and company perspective. Moderated by Basha Rubin, CEO & Co-Founder, Priori.

You’ll learn:

- How to design RFPs that drive value and strengthen firm relationships
- What firms look for before deciding to engage—or opt out, and how they think about pricing
- Best practices for pricing, evaluation, and relationship-building
