Case Study: Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner achieves award-winning knowledge sharing with iManage Insight

Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner boosts knowledge search for 1,300 lawyers with iManage

Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP), a global law firm with over 1,300 lawyers, faced a significant challenge following a 2018 merger. Their data was siloed across different systems, making it difficult for their globally distributed lawyers to access the firm's collective knowledge and expertise. They needed a standard document management system and strategy to break down these silos and make decades of legal experience more accessible. To address this, the firm partnered with vendor iManage.

The solution implemented was an intelligent search platform, BCLP Discover, built using iManage Work and iManage Insight. This platform integrated with the firm's existing systems to create a centralized, expertly curated knowledge base. The results were highly successful; lawyers performed 14,000 searches in the first six months, unlocking insights and best practices that were previously out of reach. iManage provided a competitive edge by enabling lawyers to work smarter, enriching client services with firm-wide experience, and the platform won multiple industry awards.
