HOUSTON, Sept. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Morae, a global legal solutions provider, has launched MorAI Spend Intelligence, the first module of its new legal intelligence platform. The platform aims to streamline the management of outside counsel costs and enhance budget decisions by integrating AI with human review.
According to Morae, legal teams are struggling with the verification work that AI was supposed to simplify. Sixty-seven percent of legal professionals report that checking AI-generated outputs is eating up the productivity gains AI was meant to deliver. Morae's new solution seeks to address this issue by combining billing-trained AI with expert human review.
MorAI Spend Intelligence connects isolated enterprise legal management (ELM), matter management, and law firm billing data into a single decision layer. This unified approach allows legal departments to review outside counsel invoices that have been verified by both AI and human oversight. The validated data can then be used to guide future firm strategy and budget decisions.
In an early deployment with a global insurance company, the hybrid model doubled outside counsel cost savings from 8.5% to 18% while eliminating 14,000 hours of manual invoice review.
MorAI Spend Intelligence is the first application built on Morae’s new connected decision platform. The platform is designed to unite the legal industry’s fragmented software stacks into a single, context-rich AI interface. Morae helps more than 1,500 legal teams turn fragmented data into actionable business insights. Founded in 2015 and operating across 12 offices on five continents, the firm combines legal consulting, technology, and operations expertise to help legal teams scale AI adoption.
MorAI Spend Intelligence serves Fortune 1000 and FTSE 350 corporate legal departments with $10 million or more in annual outside counsel spend, particularly across insurance, financial services, healthcare, and technology verticals. The platform operates on a federated learning model where shared insights enhance detection accuracy for all users without cross-sharing data, ensuring each client's information remains isolated and secure.
MorAI Legal Intelligence, which includes MorAI Spend Intelligence, will expand to include specialized modules for contract management and information governance. By connecting a legal department’s full technology ecosystem into a single, context-rich intelligence layer, the platform allows legal teams to make decisions based on complete, organization-wide context.
