Morae Selects Emma Legal as Strategic Due Diligence Technology Offering

Antwerp, Belgium & Houston / London - March 9th - Emma Legal, the AI-powered legal due diligence workspace purpose-built for M&A, today announced a strategic partnership with Morae Global Corporation, a leading provider of legal technology and operations solutions to corporate legal teams and law firms worldwide.

Strategic collaboration brings workflow-centric legal due diligence to corporate legal teams and law firms, reducing execution friction and enabling faster, more defensible deal outcomes.

Through this collaboration, Morae adds Emma Legal to its legal technology portfolio for the US and UK markets. The partnership combines Emma’s specialized due diligence workspace with Morae’s deep expertise in legal operations and transformation, helping law firms modernize how legal due diligence is performed.

Removing the Bottleneck in Legal Due Diligence

Legal due diligence (LDD) is often cited by Legal Tech vendors as a supported use case. In reality, many solutions remain too shallow to support the complexity of real M&A transactions.

Deal teams frequently face tools that lack core capabilities required for effective LDD, such as reviewing thousands of documents simultaneously, supporting workflows tailored specifically to due diligence, or connecting directly to the data rooms where deal documents live.

As a result, legal teams often fall back on spreadsheets, manual document comparison, and fragmented trackers. What should be a structured process becomes a reactive one, slowing transactions and increasing execution risk.

Emma Legal was built specifically to address these gaps. Its dedicated due diligence workspace enables deal teams to review large document sets, structure findings, and manage the full diligence workflow in one environment connected directly to leading virtual data rooms.

From Document Review to Structured Due Diligence

Another challenge in legal due diligence is that much of the work is still driven by individual heuristics rather than documented playbooks. Over time, lawyers develop their own ways of identifying risks, but this knowledge often remains scattered across deal teams and rarely becomes structured methodology within the firm.

Morae has a proven methodology to codify this knowledge, which is typically scattered across the firm and centralize it into a platform like Emma so deal teams can get smarter with each deal.

Through this partnership, those methodologies can be embedded directly into Emma Legal’s due diligence workspace, allowing deal teams to execute diligence in a more structured way while preserving the firm’s knowledge and approach. Additionally, deal teams are able to work with greater consistency and clarity and ensures that each transaction strengthens the firm’s institutional knowledge.

“When we first met Morae, we immediately saw the depth of expertise they have built over the years helping law firms navigate complex change management journeys,” said Rick van Esch, CEO and Co-Founder of Emma Legal. “With AI entering the legal due diligence arena, firms will need to rethink how these processes are structured. Morae is uniquely positioned to guide law firms through that transformation while adopting Emma as their dedicated due diligence workspace.”‍

Morae's clients will be able to:

• Highlight instantly the missing documents, required to do a proper due diligence.
• Review thousands of document simultaneously across the full data room.
• Dedicated LDD workflows designed specifically for M&A due diligence.
• Structured playbooks that translate firm expertise into repeatable processes.
• And more.

By combining Morae’s legal operations expertise with Emma’s purpose-built diligence workspace, law firms gain both the structure and the technology needed to modernize due diligence practices.

“Morae’s mission is to help legal teams achieve measurable outcomes through the right combination of expertise, methodology, and technology,” said Rico Burnet, Managing Director & Global Innovation Leader. “By adding Emma Legal to our legal technology portfolio, we are giving our clients a powerful solution specifically designed for the realities of legal due diligence in modern transactions.”
