Morae and Wordsmith AI Partner to Eliminate Contract Bottlenecks for Legal Teams

At $1.65B and growing, AI contract management is no longer optional. Morae's Contracts as a Service, now with Wordsmith AI, delivers the speed, insight, and scale legal teams need to keep pace.

May 12, 2026

As the global market for AI-powered contract management software surges to $1.65 billion in 2026 (Intel Market Research), the widening gap between contract volume and legal capacity has reached a breaking point. To meet this demand, Morae Global Corporation and Wordsmith AI today announced a multi-year partnership to automate the manual burdens of the contract lifecycle.

"Wordsmith is a standout in the legal AI space. Integrating Wordsmith AI into our Contracts as a Service allows our clients to stop worrying about the 'plumbing' of contract workflows and start focusing on consistent execution and strategic insights," said Mathew Crocker, Chief Strategy Officer at Morae.

"Morae has spent the last decade building the operational muscle that the world's largest legal teams rely on. Pairing that with Wordsmith means our AI shows up where the work actually happens, with the context and discipline of a top-tier delivery partner around it. This is how legal AI moves from demo to default — inside a service that general counsel already trust, solving problems they're already paying to solve," said Ross McNairn, CEO and co-founder of Wordsmith AI.

Morae’s Contracts as a Service with Wordsmith AI

The technology integration is available immediately to Morae Contracts as a Service (CaaS) clients worldwide, with a phased rollout across existing service engagements.

The CaaS managed service delivers:

  • Speed: AI-assisted drafting, review, and negotiation are embedded into Morae’s delivery model, compressing cycle times for routine and high-volume contracts.
  • Insight: Playbook-driven analytics and risk flags surface deviations and obligations across the entire contract portfolio, moving beyond one-off document review.
  • Scale: A managed service that flexes with demand—from peak M&A workloads to long-tail commercial agreements—without proportional cost growth.
  • Trust: Enterprise-grade security ensures client data remains isolated from third-party model training—governed by Morae’s rigorous InfoSec framework and access controls.

Joint go-to-market activity, co-hosted client roundtables, and enablement programs will roll out throughout 2026. Visit Morae and Wordsmith at Booth 205 during the CLOC Global Institute in Chicago from May 11-14 to see the integration in action.
