Connecting document repositories for AI-assisted legal workflows

AI integrates with document management systems such as NetDocuments, Smokeball, iManage, and SharePoint so legal teams can pull firm documents directly into research, analysis, drafting, and file-discovery workflows without manual downloading and re-uploading.

Why the human is still essential here

Lawyers still decide which documents matter, interpret the results, and use the retrieved material in legal analysis and drafting. AI reduces context switching and search time but does not replace legal judgment.

How people use this

Matter file research in NetDocuments

AI pulls pleadings, memos, and prior work product from NetDocuments into a CoCounsel research session so lawyers can analyze firm materials alongside Westlaw and Practical Law authorities.

Knowledge search across iManage and SharePoint

AI searches clauses, templates, and prior deal documents stored in iManage or SharePoint and surfaces relevant internal precedents during drafting or document review.
