Quovant

Quovant operates as a specialized provider of legal spend and matter management solutions, catering to corporate legal, risk, and claims departments. The company traces its origins to 1992 when it was established in the Nashville area by Stephen French, initially as LegalBill.com, Inc. and later also operating as lbGlobalLaw. A significant milestone occurred in 2014 when Sopris Capital, a private equity firm, acquired a controlling interest in the company. Following this acquisition, Bill Horne, a seasoned executive with a decade in sales at IBM and subsequent leadership roles at multiple companies, was appointed CEO in 2015. This marked a new phase of growth, culminating in its acquisition by Mitratech, a legal and compliance software provider, on January 19, 2022.

The firm's business model is centered on a dual offering of software and expert services designed to optimize legal spending for its clients. Revenue is generated by providing these solutions to a high-caliber clientele that includes over 20% of the Fortune 50 and prominent U.S. healthcare systems. The company focuses its business development on organizations in high-risk, regulated industries such as healthcare, education, transportation, and manufacturing. Quovant's core service involves centralizing and analyzing legal invoices against a client's specific billing guidelines to enhance efficiency and compliance.

The product suite offers both a cloud-based, turnkey software platform and a 'white-glove' managed service where Quovant's team of lawyers, data analysts, and business intelligence experts manage the process for the client. Its platform, LegalBill, is designed for managing matters, eBilling, and legal bill review, providing dashboards and analytics to give clients visibility into their legal spend and law firm performance. A key feature is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for advanced analytics and categorization of legal spending, which helps identify savings and benchmark law firm performance. This combination of technology and human expertise allows the company to deliver significant cost savings, averaging 8-12% of legal spend for its clients.
