Case Study: GvW Graf von Westphalen achieves seamless cloud collaboration, enhanced security, and AI readiness with iManage Cloud

Award-winning German law firm takes document management to the cloud

GvW Graf von Westphalen is an award‑winning full‑service German law firm based in Hamburg with 250 lawyers across six national offices and additional international representation. Facing the need to modernize document management for faster search, seamless collaboration across locations, and stronger data‑protection compliance (BDSG/GDPR), the firm sought a cloud‑native solution to replace dated on‑premises processes.

With implementation partner Morae, GvW migrated to iManage Work 10 in the Cloud, iManage Share, and iManage Threat Manager in six months. The move delivered a centralized DMS that enables easy remote access (no VPN), streamlined retrieval and file sharing, real‑time threat monitoring integrated with the firm’s SOC, reduced maintenance overhead, and a secure foundation for future AI enablement and Microsoft 365 integration.
