NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Priori, the leading legal technology platform for outside counsel decision-making, today announced the expansion of its Client Advisory Board (CAB) for 2025–2026.

This year’s additions further diversify and strengthen the board’s expertise, bringing in new voices from both corporate legal departments and law firms. The inclusion of senior leaders from top law firms reflects Priori’s deep commitment to building a collaborative ecosystem between corporate legal departments and their law firms on the future of outside counsel selection and pricing.

The expanded CAB will continue to serve as a strategic resource for Priori’s executive team, offering guidance on product roadmap, client experience, and evolving legal department priorities – particularly in areas such as flexible legal talent, RFP management, and panel optimization.
