HAN LLP selects iManage to bring order to complex commercial legal work. New York and Los Angeles business law firm selects iManage to improve document traceability, external collaboration, and operational continuity across a growing team. CHICAGO, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - iManage, the company dedicated to Making Knowledge Work(TM), today announced that HAN LLP, a business law firm with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, has selected the iManage platform to centralize document management, strengthen document version control, and support secure collaboration across internal teams and external parties. HAN LLP practices commercial real estate and commercial litigation - work that requires strict control over document versions circulated during complex transactions and court proceedings. As the firm has grown, managing documents across multiple storage environments created risk around version accuracy, file continuity, and external file sharing. The firm selected iManage for its document identification capabilities, intuitive interface, and ability to consolidate legal content into a single, governed environment that teams can reliably adopt. Key priorities driving the selection include: * Document version control: Maintaining accurate document identification across commercial lease negotiations and litigation matters, where multiple versions circulate among clients, co-counsel, and opposing parties * Centralized, secure file sharing: Replacing fragmented approaches to external document production and discovery with a single, governed environment for sharing large document sets with co-counsel and external parties * Ease of adoption: Selecting a platform the broader team can use confidently as the firm scales, replacing a fragmented mix of storage tools that lacked consistent document identification and governance * Operational continuity: Ensuring legal work and knowledge can be accessed and continued seamlessly as the team grows and matters develop over time "Documentation is the foundation of everything we do," said Chris Han, Founding and Managing Partner at HAN LLP. "When you're managing commercial leases with dozens of redlined versions in circulation, or coordinating production across hundreds of documents in litigation, you cannot afford to lose track of what was sent, what changed, and which version is current. iManage gives us the document identification, the structure, and the central workspace we need to hold strict control over our work - and share it securely with the people who need it." HAN LLP is working with an iManage implementation partner to complete onboarding and go live on the platform. Once live, iManage will serve as the firm's central environment for document management, version tracking, and secure external collaboration across all practice areas. "Small and mid-size firms face the same version control and governance challenges as large enterprises - often with leaner teams and less margin for error," said Rizwan Khan Vice President, North America at iManage. "HAN LLP recognized that centralizing institutional knowledge in a governed, reliable platform is the operational foundation their practice depends on. We are pleased to support them as they put that foundation to work." About iManage iManage is dedicated to Making Knowledge Work(TM).

iManage announced platform updates at ConnectLive 2026, introducing a context fabric designed to transform organisational knowledge into a governed foundation for AI. The company added 90 new customers in 2026, with its cloud now reaching 78% of its global customer base. The platform evolution includes iManage MCP Server, which enables AI agents to access permission-aware content securely, and multi-region search for global organisations. New governance features include Security Policy Manager for AI-specific controls and Threat Manager for monitoring AI agent activity. iManage is expanding its AI ecosystem through integration with Anthropic's Claude, allowing organisations to connect AI tools to governed knowledge without bulk exports. The company serves 83% of the Top Global 100 firms, 40% of the Fortune 100 and 79% of the Am Law 100.

iManage MCP Server is now Available to Connect Governed Knowledge to the Broader AI Ecosystem. Governed, auditable access to iManage content for AI replaces fragmented custom integrations, eliminates vendor lock-in, and keeps sensitive knowledge secure inside the iManage platform. iManage, the company dedicated to Making Knowledge Work, announced iManage MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, a standardized, open-protocol connection that enables any artificial intelligence (AI) systems to securely access governed iManage content without custom integrations, bulk data exports, or compromising existing security, ethical wall, and compliance controls. Findings from the iManage Knowledge Work Benchmark Report 2026 reveal a market reshaping faster than most organizations can keep up with. Nearly half of global leaders expect new legal frameworks to emerge specifically to govern AI-to-AI interactions within the decade, and two-thirds say that shift will be transformational for their business. Yet 32% cite integration complexity as one of the biggest barriers to AI adoption. iManage MCP Server resolves that tension by providing a single, standardized connection between the iManage platform and any AI system (whether Harvey, Legora, ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or a firm's own AI agents. "Customers are not choosing one AI tool and stopping there. They are already experimenting with multiple AI systems, and the real challenge is connecting those tools to the knowledge that matters most without creating new governance gaps or operational complexity," said Neil Araujo, CEO of iManage. "iManage MCP Server gives organizations a governed way to do that - enabling permission-aware access to business-critical knowledge that remains governed within iManage, while giving teams the flexibility to adopt the AI tools that make the most sense for their business." May 15, 2026 Prev Next 1 of 42,938 Key capabilities of iManage MCP Server include: * Standardized AI Connectivity - A single MCP connection replaces a growing list of custom API integrations. Because MCP is an open, vendor-neutral standard, any MCP Compatible AI system can connect once configured. Firms add, switch, or onboard new AI tools without new IT projects and without being locked into a single vendor * Documents Stay in Place - Allows AI to access iManage content without bulk export of documents and negates the need for the AI tool to store a copy of the documents * Governed and Auditable Access - All AI access to iManage content via MCP is authenticated, permission-bound, and fully logged, respecting existing ethical walls and access controls. IT and compliance teams can approve AI adoption with confidence; legal defensibility is maintained without additional tooling * Richer AI, better answers - AI tools draw directly from the governed source with full context, accurate results, no data duplication "We are already investing in AI tools across the business, but the real value comes from being able to connect those tools securely to the governed knowledge held in iManage," said Mike Peters, Information Manager, RSM Australia. "The iManage MCP Server provides a practical pathway to do that without treating each AI use case as a bespoke integration project. For an organization managing sensitive client information, the ability to connect AI capabilities to permission-aware, governed content is an exciting development and aligns strongly with the modern way of working."
