What it is Overview

iManage is a document and email management platform widely used by law firms. One of the two dominant legal DMS platforms (alongside NetDocuments).

Overview

iManage is the dominant document and knowledge management platform in professional services, used by 85% of the Global 100 law firms and 41% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 1995 and led by CEO Neil Araujo, the company has evolved from an on-premise DMS into a cloud-native, AI-powered knowledge work platform.

Key Features

iManage Work — Core document management with version control, ethical walls, and permissions
Ask iManage — AI assistant embedded in iManage Work 10 with Smart Guided Actions (Overview, Extract, Summarise, Analyse)
Chronology Action — Automatically organises events from documents into citation-backed timelines
Ask Across — Extracts consistent answers from document sets
iManage Insight+ — Knowledge search and management with curated content libraries
AI Enrichment — Automated metadata tagging and classification
Mailbox Assistant — AI-powered email filing
MCP Support — Model Context Protocol enables any MCP-compatible AI (Harvey, Legora, etc.) to connect without vendor-specific integrations

r/legaltech AMA

iManage CEO Neil Araujo and Paul Walker participated in an AMA on r/legaltech hosted by u/alexdenne. Araujo articulated a governance-first approach to AI: “AI will only be as impactful as the governance and human judgment that guide it.”

Market Context

iManage’s research found that 25% of employees globally use AI with little to no oversight, and one-third of organisations have experienced document policy violations tied to unregulated tools. This positions iManage’s governed DMS as the foundation layer that AI tools like Harvey and Legora build on top of.
