On-Demand Contract Negotiation for a Global Energy Supply Chain

One of the world's largest multinational oil and gas companies was experiencing a sharp increase in contract volume. Requests for MSAs, MPAs, BAAs, vendor agreements, and ad-hoc contracts were arriving from multiple channels across the business, and the International Global Supply Chain legal team could not absorb the spike. Routing overflow work to outside counsel was straining budgets without improving turnaround.

• Right-sized resourcing: Rather than staffing a full team, Morae identified that a single, highly qualified on-demand contract negotiator could absorb the surge.
• Embedded workflow: The resource worked directly within the supply chain legal team's intake process, handling negotiation across the full range of agreement types.
• Flexible capacity: The engagement scaled with demand, giving the team elastic coverage without a permanent hire or outside counsel rates.

The client offloaded a significant volume of contract negotiation work at a fraction of the cost of outside counsel. The existing legal team's workload dropped to a sustainable level, contract workflow management became more flexible, and the client realized meaningful cost savings — validating on-demand resourcing as the model for future demand spikes.
