-- May 06, 2025 – [San Diego, CA] — Swiftwater & Company, a trusted advisor to corporate legal departments, today announced a strategic partnership with Legal Decoder, the legal industry’s leading analytics platform for outside counsel invoice review and spend optimization.
The partnership aims to deliver greater cost predictability, risk transparency, and strategic clarity for the Office of General Counsel.
With legal departments under increasing pressure to control costs while navigating regulatory and operational complexity, the Swiftwater–Legal Decoder alliance offers a new path forward.
A recent survey revealed that nearly 60% of legal departments lack confidence in managing cost predictability and showing business value. This partnership aims to address that issue.
“This partnership is about giving GCs the tools and insights to lead with precision. Together with Legal Decoder, we can provide legal departments with the kind of granular, real-time intelligence they need to reduce waste, manage law firm relationships more effectively, and align legal spend with business priorities,” said Imran Jaswal, President of Swiftwater.
Legal Decoder’s platform uses advanced data science to decode outside counsel invoices, identify inefficiencies, benchmark costs, and provide actionable analytics to legal operations and GC leadership.
“The most forward-thinking legal departments want to be proactive - not reactive - about spend. Partnering with Swiftwater allows us to offer more than just analytics—we’re delivering end-to-end guidance on how to act on the data. It’s a powerful combination of insight and execution,” said Joseph Tiano, CEO of Legal Decoder.
The combined offering includes:
· Spend diagnostics with expert interpretation
· Outside counsel benchmarking and governance design
· Legal spend control models tailored to your business
· Preferred provider program design and optimization
· Implementation support and change enablement
“We’re giving legal teams the clarity to act with speed, confidence, and accountability. It’s not just insight - it’s insight that moves the needle,” said Danish Butt, Managing Director at Swiftwater.
With this partnership, Swiftwater and Legal Decoder seek to decrease uncertainty and develop more effective legal spending strategies, transforming legal departments from cost centers into value creators.
