File Sharing & E-signature Software
for Legal Practices

An electronic signature or e-signature (sometimes stylized as eSignature) is a quick and legal way to get electronic documents signed. A way to streamline workflows and speed up processes that include multiple signatures, e-signatures can replace a handwritten signature in many processes.

Our electronic signature and file-sharing solutions offer multiple layers of security thanks to bank-level encryption and knowledge-based authentication (KBA). These features provide a deep level of security for clients’ data and ensure that law firms stay in line with legal ethics and compliance requirements.

Because electronic signature and digital file-sharing are an important part of building a paperless practice, they also provide another degree of security: going digital can protect legal documents in the event of a fire, flood, theft, or natural disaster.

In a word, yes. Not only are they easy to use for everyone involved, but they are also far more convenient when compared to traditional client portals.

Client portals are a key feature for legal software, but they can pose a learning curve for clients and law firm staff alike. Even when parties are capable of using them, they may find it hard to remember additional passwords or simply counterintuitive to use for a matter.

On the other hand, getting a signature or sharing a file can be as easy as sending an email. For law firm staff, documents can be prepared for signatures using preset templates or easily customized with a few clicks. On the client’s end, all that’s needed is to open the email and complete the authentication questions to access the e-signature request or documents.

No matter what kind of software you’re looking to implement for your law firm, it’s critical to make sure that it integrates with your practice management tools. After all, your practice management software serves as the hub of your practice!

The time lost switching back and forth between applications may seem insignificant—a few seconds here, a minute there—but when multiplied across your team, it starts to add up. If your team can do everything from billing to document management to case collaboration to e-signature collection from a single interface, you can save hours of valuable time that would be better spent on other things.

That’s why CosmoLex is designed to offer robust electronic signature and file-sharing functionalities within the framework of our industry-leading practice management software.

From a security and compliance standpoint, both e-signature and file sharing meet the mark. It’s the duty of lawyers and law firms to exercise reasonable care to keep client information and files confidential. Thanks to advanced security features like advanced user access controls, deep security infrastructure, and governance protocols, CosmoLex users can rest assured that data is protected. Powered by LexSign, CosmoLex’s one-click e-signature tools are in full compliance with the standards set by the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act (UECA).
