AI-powered document and knowledge management for professional services
What it is
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.

- 28% YTD ARR growth in 2025

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.
