Morae today (29 September) formally unveils a new Legal Intelligence Platform, with its first module – MorAI Spend Intelligence – providing a tech + managed services offering that connects ELM, matter management, and law firm billing data into a single decision layer.

The new overarching platform unifies disconnected legal tech stacks into one decision layer. Rather than replacing systems of record, it sits above them and draws intelligence from them. Morae says that the cross-system intelligence allows legal teams to make decisions based on complete, organisation-wide context. Perhaps more importantly, by integrating with existing legal systems, the platform is designed to be live “in weeks,” avoiding lengthy replatforming or data migration projects.

The last mile is our domain experts.”
