How iManage & Harvey help legal teams unlock the value of AI
As legal organizations accelerate their AI adoption, many are discovering that the technology itself is only part of the equation. The more critical concern is ensuring that their chosen AI tool fits the way their teams already work.
If your lawyers have to switch between systems, move documents manually, or work outside governed environments to access your AI tools, you introduce operational risk and greater barriers to adoption.
The most successful AI initiatives take a different approach. They connect AI directly to trusted organizational knowledge and embed it into existing legal workflows. Less friction, greater impact.
And now, with MCP you can achieve just that with Harvey and iManage.
Bringing trusted knowledge and legal AI together
Legal professionals rely on matter history, legal precedents, work product, and institutional knowledge to deliver advice and outcomes their clients can trust. iManage serves as the trusted foundation for that knowledge, helping organizations manage documents, information, governance controls, and security policies. In complement to that, Harvey provides AI-powered legal reasoning, analysis, drafting, and workflow capabilities that help professionals work more efficiently.
With the new Harvey connector library and MCP, iManage and Harvey customers can now bring these capabilities into a single experience. This enables legal teams to access trusted information, accelerate work, and maintain governance throughout the process. It’s a better experience for lawyers and a stronger foundation for organizations looking to scale AI with confidence.
Reducing friction without sacrificing control
Historically, legal workflows have required professionals to spend valuable time searching for documents, downloading files, uploading content into other applications, and manually returning work product to the appropriate matter workspace.
These handoffs create more than inefficiency — they can also introduce version confusion, duplicate files, and governance concerns.
By connecting Harvey directly to iManage, legal professionals can work with trusted matter information where it already lives. This makes it possible to:
Access documents directly from iManage within Harvey
Analyze and compare matter content using Harvey's AI capabilities
Draft and review work product using trusted source materials
Save completed work back into the appropriate matter workspace
Preserve permissions, auditability, and governance controls throughout the process
Rather than creating disconnected AI workflows, organizations can extend existing iManage workflows with Harvey.
A powerful combination
"We couldn't have the Harvey integration without iManage Security Policy Manager in place. It locks in the rights so we can police governance." - Doug Gibson, Chaffetz Lindsey
Legal organizations shouldn’t have to choose between innovation and governance, or between AI adoption and operational control.
By bringing together the trusted knowledge and governance capabilities of iManage with Harvey's AI-powered legal workflows, your team can reduce risk, remove friction, and unlock greater value from your institutional knowledge.
The result is not simply faster work — it's better legal work, delivered with greater confidence.
