Morae

Two of the most common questions we hear from GCs and legal ops leaders are how they can use AI to get better results, and how they can get more control over legal spend. Morae analysis puts roughly 70% of outside counsel overspend in the judgement calls: excessive time, work done at the wrong level, matters staffed more heavily than they need to be. At the same time, internal legal teams are struggling to review a growing volume of invoices, let alone align their spend with the outcomes they're trying to achieve. That's what we built MorAI Spend Intelligence to solve, and today we're launching it. It's the first module on MorAI Legal Intelligence, our new platform that delivers cross-system intelligence by connecting the ELM, matter and billing systems legal teams already have, without the need to rip and replace. How MorAI Spend Intelligence works: - Our AI models are trained on years of anonymised legal invoice data and industry billing guidelines. Specialised AI agents review every invoice line-by-line, each focused on a specific billing guideline, from rate compliance to excessive time or vague task descriptions. - Before any invoice goes to the client for approval, our billing experts review the flags and validate them. Their decisions feed back into the solution, so the review gets fine-tuned to your business. Any needed adjustments are fed back to outside counsel, which helps manage relationships and improves billing hygiene. - Verified invoice data enables insights and intelligence, so teams can see their spend by firm, matter and billing guideline as it happens, and how they can optimise spend moving forwards. From the start, we've worked closely with our customers to bring this to life. Our flagship customer, a large global insurer, has seen outside counsel savings rise from 8.5% to 18%, and their team reclaimed around 14,000 hours of manual invoice review. The savings matter, but what moves this from billing review to something much bigger is connecting the data across systems. That gives legal teams insight into areas like: - Which firms are delivering value, and which are not. - Which matters are heading over budget. - Whether a rate increase is justified. And Spend is just the beginning. We're already developing similar cross-system modules for contract management and information governance.
