File Sharing & eSignature 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 that can even include an electronic sound, symbol, or process. A way to streamline workflows and speed up manual processes that include multiple signatures, eSignatures can replace a handwritten original signature in many processes.

Our file-sharing and cloud-based electronic signature solutions offer multiple layers of security for legal professionals to share documents with clients thanks to bank-level encryption, two-factor authentication, and knowledge-based authentication (KBA). These advanced features and authentication tools provide a deep level of security for clients' data and ensure that law firms stay in line with legal ethics and compliance standards.

Because eSignature software and digital file-sharing are an important part of building a practice without paper documents, 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 is there a simple user interface, but they are also far more convenient when compared to traditional client portals and software options.

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 digital signature or sharing a file can be as easy as sending an email. For legal professionals, documents for signature can be prepared using preset templates or easily customized with a few clicks with document history recorded for a detailed audit trail. On the client's end, the signing process is simple, just open the email and complete the authentication questions to access the eSignature request or documents for signature.

No matter what kind of electronic signature options 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 and its additional features serve 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. With team features, your staff can do everything from law firm document management to billing to case collaboration to eSignature collection from a single interface, you can save hours of valuable time that would be better spent on other things.
