Case Study: Esteemed Global Law Firm achieves days-to-seconds conflicts search speed with iManage Conflicts Manager

Prestigious firm achieves exponential efficiency gains with iManage solutions

For over 140 years, a global law firm with more than 2,000 lawyers in two dozen offices faced a labor‑intensive conflicts‑of‑interest process: manual entry of corporate affiliate and family‑tree data, searches that could return tens of thousands of hits (as many as 40,000 results for a single name), no easy way to filter results, and clearance tasks that routinely took days and consumed substantial staffing resources.

The firm deployed iManage Conflicts Manager (with Business Intake Manager and Corporate Intelligence) to automate corporate‑family data, consolidate and filter search results, and embed conflicts checks into intake workflows. The result: manual data entry was eliminated, searches that once took days now run in seconds, accuracy and analyst productivity improved, staffing was retooled toward higher‑value review, and conflicts clearance became faster and more integrated across the matter lifecycle.
