Billing Narrative Cleanup for Corporate Attorneys with iManage
Run billing narrative cleanup on autopilot inside iManage.
The Problem
LEDES bills for M&A / Corporate Transactions matters get kicked back by clients and e-billing portals for vague narratives — realization drops and the billing coordinator chases lawyers for rewrites.
What We Build in iManage
AI rewrites narratives to match each client's outside-counsel guidelines in iManage, flags block-billing, and pre-validates against the portal — write-down rate drops from 12% to under 3%. Purpose-built for teams running iManage — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
iManage Integration Approach
Audit your iManage configuration
We map the specific iManage objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your m&a / corporate transactions practice.
Build on the iManage API or agent
Integration happens inside iManage — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in iManage with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
Frequently asked
Does this billing narrative cleanup automation work natively in iManage?+
Yes — we build directly on iManage's API or agent integration. Your data stays in iManage, your corporate attorneys keep the same login and UI, and there's no parallel system for the team to learn.
What iManage configuration do we need before deployment?+
We work with your existing iManage setup. During discovery we map the specific objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation touches — no rip-and-replace required for m&a / corporate transactions teams.
Can iManage handle billing narrative cleanup on its own?+
iManage handles configuration; AI handles judgment. Native iManage workflows route deterministic tasks; our automation layer adds the AI judgment iManage doesn't ship out of the box — document classification, exception triage, drafting.

iManage is widely used among m&a / corporate transactions teams precisely because of its data model around billing narrative cleanup. We've deployed this workflow on iManage for similar firms and the integration is well-trodden.
What's the typical ROI of billing narrative cleanup automation in iManage?+
