From document comparison to substantive legal analysis in minutes, with the highest-risk changes surfaced first.
The challenge
When a client wants to understand what has changed between employee handbook versions, attorneys must identify not just what is different but which changes create legal risk, compliance gaps, or missing provisions. Doing this manually across lengthy documents is time-consuming and makes it difficult to prioritize the changes that matter most.
The solution
Ask iManage compares handbook versions using redline analysis, summarizes substantive changes, categorizes them by significance, and identifies risk areas and likely compliance gaps. This means attorneys can move directly to legal analysis without working through every tracked change individually.
Open Ask iManage and use Compare Documents to compare the current version of an Employee Handbook with the prior version.
Compare Documents across 2 versions of the same document allows you to easily identify what has changed from version to version, without manual work.
Use the analysis to identify the substantive changes between versions.
Ask iManage synthesizes differences to not just explain what has changed, but why it matters. Changes are categorized so you can quickly prioritize.
Export and act on the redline analysis.
Ask iManage export allows for use in advice notes, compliance memos, or internal issue trackers.
Ask follow-up questions to add more depth to your understanding.
