Case Study: Adams and Reese LLP achieves increased productivity, secure collaboration, and streamlined document management with iManage

Adams and Reese embrace the future of work with iManage

Adams and Reese is a 20‑office U.S. law firm that had relied on iManage for more than two decades but ran into version‑control, governance, and security problems after adopting a third‑party file‑sharing tool. CTO Bill Vance needed a secure, cloud‑ready document management approach that preserved nearly 20 years of user training while improving search, compliance, and firmwide collaboration.

The firm moved to iManage Work 10 in the Cloud and implemented iManage Share and Threat Manager to keep work product centralized, secure, and auditable. The change eliminated duplicate files, tightened security and reporting for sensitive documents, improved search and productivity, and raised adoption to about 85%—positioning the firm to roll out AI tools for even greater knowledge surfacing and efficiency.
