Case Study: Borden Ladner Gervais LLP delivers closing books in minutes with iManage Closing Folders

iManage Closing Folders was brought in on a pilot program but quickly gained adoption among attorneys

Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG) is Canada’s largest full‑service law firm, serving over 725 clients. The firm wanted to modernize its transactional closing process but faced limited IT bandwidth and preferred a voluntary, user-driven rollout rather than mandating a new tool.

BLG piloted iManage Closing Folders, a cloud-based solution that required minimal IT involvement and proved easy for attorneys and support staff to adopt. Within months adoption grew to 100+ internal users and about 200 deals per month; BLG now produces over 100 professional closing books monthly, cutting production from hours to minutes while giving clients direct deal visibility, faster signature packages, and better reporting.
