Priori Launches AI Agent for Law Firm Selection

Priori Legal now uses an AI agent called Scout to guide in-house legal teams from matter intake through outside counsel selection.

Priori Legal, a legal technology company based in New York, launched new AI capabilities within its Priori RFP platform on April 7, 2026, to help in-house legal teams decide where legal matters should go and what they should cost.

This update matters because legal departments have struggled to apply consistent sourcing standards when the information needed to make those decisions is spread across multiple systems.

The Core Problem

Legal teams routinely face two questions at the start of every matter: where should this work go, and what should it cost? These decisions have become harder as organizations adopt rules of engagement for sourcing legal work but lack tools to apply them consistently.

Information on law firm relationships, past billing, and lawyer experience often sits in separate systems. Without a single place to bring it together, decisions can vary from one matter to the next.
