Our sessions
Back to the Future: How Your Legal Tech History Shapes Future Adoption
Matthew Crocker, Chief Strategy Officer, Morae Global — Innovation Theatre, 28 April
Before you can go anywhere, you need to know where you stand. AI adoption in legal is accelerating — but legacy processes, data decisions, and governance gaps will either enable or derail it. Matthew cuts through the noise with a practical look at operational maturity, hidden data risks, and the frameworks that make scalable, future-ready technology work.
From Spend to Insight: Legal Spend Intelligence That Saves Time and Money
Simon Meiklejohn, Managing Director, Solution Engineering, Morae — Demo Session, 28 April
Corporate legal teams need measurable savings and control. Law firms want fewer disputes and faster payment. Morae Spend Intelligence combines GenAI-powered invoice analysis with expert human oversight to deliver consistent, transparent guideline enforcement — with real-world results of 6–18% savings and an ~80% reduction in processing time.
