Unity RFP runs on the AI-native Unity platform, bringing structured vendor selection, law firm attribution and rate analysis directly into legal matter and spend management workflows

New York City, March 12, 2026 — Onit today announced Unity RFP, a Request for Proposal and rate analysis solution that expands the Unity suite and is scheduled for release in the first half of 2026.

Traditional legal RFP solutions often require significant standalone investment and operate outside the legal system of record. Unity RFP brings structured vendor sourcing directly into Unity and will be available to Unity ELM customers through no-cost promotional access programs designed to accelerate adoption.

As legal departments face growing pressure to control outside counsel spend and demonstrate measurable financial discipline, the RFP process has become a critical governance control point. According to a 2025 report from Major, Lindsey & Africa, the number of legal RFPs issued by Fortune 500 companies increased by 42% between 2024 and mid-2025. Yet in many organizations, vendor selection and rate negotiation still occur across fragmented email threads, spreadsheets, and standalone tools operating outside the legal system of record.

Unity RFP modernizes this process by bringing governed workflows, pricing transparency, and defensible vendor governance directly into Unity’s matter and spend management environment.

“Legal teams are expected to manage cost, risk, and performance with increasing precision,” said Michael Farlekas, CEO of Onit. “Unity RFP extends our AI-native platform to formalize vendor selection and rate analysis so that the right firm is selected with the right AFA approach based on the matter. Unity RFP will be delivered within Unity ELM, ensuring a fully turnkey process. The same system that governs legal matter and spend management will now include an RFP workflow, helping teams operate with greater consistency, transparency, and control.”

Elevating the legal RFP process with structure and financial rigor

As outside counsel relationships grow more complex and fee arrangements continue to evolve, legal operations teams require tools that support objective evaluation, structured negotiation, and audit-ready decision making. Beyond automation, Unity RFP enables law firms to clearly articulate their approach, expertise, and differentiated value within a standardized evaluation framework. As AI adoption accelerates across legal departments and law firms, organizations are increasingly evaluating not only cost and experience, but also how firms plan to leverage technology to deliver measurable value.

Unity RFP introduces a repeatable RFP workflow that includes:

• Template-driven RFP creation and customizable questionnaires
• Access to 8,000 law firms with specific law firm attribution
• Secure vendor portal for proposal submission and communication
• Structured pricing capture for hourly and fixed fee proposals
• Side-by-side vendor comparison with pricing breakdowns by phase and task
• Weighted scorecards and internal review workflows
• Reverse auction capabilities with configurable bid visibility
• Direct integration of the selected proposal into Unity ELM
• Historical RFP reporting and trend analysis

By formalizing vendor selection and negotiation within Unity, legal teams can strengthen governance, improve pricing visibility, and align RFP outcomes with broader spend management objectives.

Bringing vendor governance inside the legal system of record

Unity RFP operates natively within the Unity platform, aligning vendor governance with matter and spend management in a unified environment while enabling natural language queries through Ask Unity.

Built on Unity’s AI-native architecture introduced earlier this month, Unity RFP benefits from shared vendor records, centralized reporting, and coordinated workflows across legal operations. This integrated foundation reduces fragmentation and keeps vendor selection, rate analysis, and financial oversight within the same system of record. Because Unity RFP is native to the Unity platform, vendor selections and agreed rate structures can flow directly into matter and spend workflows, supporting improved financial outcomes through optimized rates and fee arrangements.

As legal operations continue to mature, organizations are moving away from disconnected point solutions toward unified platforms that connect data, workflows, and governance controls. Unity RFP reflects Onit’s continued expansion of the Unity suite to support the full lifecycle of legal vendor governance and spend management.

Availability

Unity RFP is scheduled for release in the first half of 2026 and will be available to customers operating on the Unity platform. All ELM clients will have access to a number of RFPs per year as part of their existing ELM subscription at no additional cost. Additional RFP events, including unlimited use options will be offered with simple, value-based pricing, which will be announced in April.

Unity ELM’s native AI advances how legal teams access information, execute work, and scale innovation across teams, AI agents, and workflows

New York City, March 9, 2026 — Onit today announced the release of Unity ELM, delivered on its AI-native legal platform and marking the next generation of legal matter and spend management. For legal teams under increasing pressure to control spend and deliver faster insight, Unity ELM provides a unified system of record. The release introduces a modern AI-native user experience fully integrated with AI-driven invoice review through Spend Agent. Legal teams can now proactively enforce billing guidelines, greatly reducing the tedious manual work of reviewing invoices. The addition of Ask Unity enables analytical insight across legal operations data.

These upgrades build on Unity’s debut last year and advance Onit’s unified platform for intelligent workflows, consistent user experiences, and coordinated legal operations.

“Unity delivers real productivity gains through a modern, AI-native user experience and embedded AI workflows across legal operations,” said Michael Farlekas, CEO of Onit. “We are moving fast and on pace to release one new product per quarter, rapidly and continuously advancing the unique value we offer clients.”

An AI-native platform for modern legal operations

Unity was built to replace siloed legacy legal technology with a robust and extensible unified platform that connects data, workflows, and experiences across products. This foundation enables Onit to deliver new capabilities faster and more consistently across the Unity suite. Unity ELM aligns legal matter and spend management on a unified AI-native foundation, positioning customers for long-term innovation and scale.

• Native AI embedded across core areas of legal operations enables users to interact in natural language with legal data and generate meaningful answers grounded in their system of record without exporting data or building manual reports
• A modern, intuitive UI delivers a consistent experience across Unity products, improving usability and adoption while reducing operational friction
• AI-powered invoice review through Spend Agent is now fully integrated with Unity ELM, expanding intelligent and automated billing guideline enforcement across the Unity suite
• Cross-product integration allows products, agents, and workflows, including capabilities such as LSR and the upcoming Unity RFP, to operate together on a unified platform, eliminating disconnected updates and point solutions

The Unity platform also positions Onit to extend the Unity suite with additional capabilities, including RFP management, as part of its rapid product expansion.

Ask Unity enables faster and easier access to insight

A key milestone in this release is Ask Unity, a conversational way for users to engage with their legal operations data across Unity, starting with Unity ELM.

Ask Unity enables analytical queries across legal operations data, helping teams to uncover trends, analyze spend patterns, and generate insight without manual reporting.

Ask Unity reflects Onit’s longer-term vision for governed AI that supports day-to-day legal work within secure, established workflows.

Expanding the Unity Suite with AI-native workflows and agents

Onit also announced the commercial success of Spend Agent, which was made available in Q4 2025. Several clients have successfully implemented the solution, with additional organizations preparing to deploy. Spend Agent uses our model technology to automatically identify errors and discrepancies in invoices, as well as invoices that do not conform to established billing guidelines. The agent can interact with the legal provider to adjust the invoice with little to no human intervention. Onit is fulfilling our mission to release one new AI-native product per quarter for the foreseeable future.

Cross-product integration further ensures that data and actions flow seamlessly across Unity, enabling coordinated workflows and shared visibility without additional configuration.

Onit will showcase Unity ELM and its latest unified UI experience at Legalweek 2026, including live demonstrations of Spend Agent and Ask Unity (Beta).
