Bank-Grade Security

Protect attorney-client privilege. We are SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliant, using AES 256-bit encryption for all documents. Your sensitive data is shielded by the same level of security used by major financial institutions, ensuring complete confidentiality.

Effortless Client Experience

Make it easy for your clients to say 'yes'. Our signing process is intuitive and works on any device—no downloads, no passwords, no hassle. Clients simply click a link and follow the prompts, reflecting a modern and professional image for your firm.

Proven Outcomes

Family Law

Boutique Family Law Firm Cuts Client Onboarding Time by 85%

A 5-attorney family law practice was struggling with a slow and cumbersome client intake process. Retainer agreements and initial paperwork often took over a week to be returned by mail, delaying the start of urgent legal work and creating a poor first impression for clients already under stress.

The Challenge

  • Clients taking 7-10 days to return signed retainer agreements.
  • High costs associated with printing, postage, and courier services.
  • Administrative staff wasting valuable time on manual follow-ups.
  • Inability to begin work on time-sensitive cases promptly.

The Solution

eSignly was implemented as the firm's standard for all client-facing documents. The firm's paralegal converted their standard retainer agreement into an eSignly template with pre-placed fields. Now, after an initial consultation, the attorney can send the agreement directly from their computer before the client has even left the video call. The solution included custom branding to match the firm's website and an automated reminder system set for 48 hours after sending.

Key Outcomes

  • Client onboarding time reduced from an average of 8 days to 1 day.
  • Document turnaround time for retainer agreements decreased by 85%.
  • Estimated annual savings of $12,000 in printing and postage costs.

"eSignly changed the game for us. What used to take a week of follow-ups now takes about 15 minutes. Our clients are happier, and we can start working on their cases almost immediately. The initial consultation to the signed retainer is now a single, seamless process."

Commercial Litigation

Mid-Sized Litigation Firm Secures High-Volume Discovery with Ironclad Audit Trails

A 50-attorney litigation firm needed a secure and efficient way to handle thousands of discovery documents per case. Sending sensitive documents via email for signature was a major security risk, and tracking signatures from dozens of deponents, experts, and clients was a logistical nightmare for their support staff.

The Challenge

  • Lack of a centralized system to track hundreds of outstanding signatures.
  • Significant security risks from emailing confidential case documents.
  • Difficulty in proving the authenticity and timing of signatures.
  • Wasted paralegal hours on manually tracking and compiling signed documents.

The Solution

The firm deployed eSignly's Business plan, leveraging its advanced security and team features. They created templates for common discovery forms like verifications and affidavits. The litigation support team used the real-time dashboard to monitor the status of all documents at a glance. For highly sensitive documents, they enabled two-factor SMS authentication to ensure only the intended recipient could sign.

Key Outcomes

  • Increased paralegal efficiency by 40% by eliminating manual tracking.
  • Achieved 100% compliance with internal security protocols for document handling.
  • Reduced the risk of missed deadlines by 99% with real-time status dashboards.

"In litigation, the chain of custody for a document is everything. eSignly's audit trail is more defensible than a wet signature. We know who signed, when, and where. It has stood up to scrutiny and gives our team and our clients complete peace of mind."

Real Estate Law

National Real Estate Law Practice Automates Closings with API Integration

A large law firm with a national real estate practice processes thousands of transactions annually. Their in-house case management system handled everything except the final document execution, which was a chaotic mix of email, faxes, and overnight shipping. They needed a solution that could integrate directly into their existing workflow.

The Challenge

  • Manual document preparation was taking 30-45 minutes per file.
  • High rate of human error, such as sending the wrong document version.
  • Lack of scalability to handle peak closing seasons.
  • Poor visibility for attorneys into the status of closing documents.

The Solution

The firm's IT team used eSignly's well-documented REST API to build a direct integration with their proprietary case management system. With a single click, a paralegal can now trigger an action that automatically generates the required documents, sends them to all parties via eSignly, and then automatically pulls the final, signed documents and the Certificate of Completion back into the correct client file once signed.

Key Outcomes

  • Reduced document preparation and sending time from 30 minutes to under 1 minute.
  • Eliminated 95% of errors related to manual document handling.
  • Increased transaction processing capacity by 50% without adding headcount.

"The eSignly API was the missing piece of our automation puzzle. We've connected it directly to our case management system, and now, generating and sending a full package of disclosure documents is a one-click process. It's saved every paralegal hours of work each week."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about implementing eSignly in your legal practice. Expert answers for managing partners, IT directors, and staff.

Are electronic signatures actually legally binding for court documents and contracts?

Yes. eSignly signatures comply with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and international regulations. We provide a comprehensive, court-admissible audit trail with every signed document to prove signer identity, intent, and consent.

How can I trust this with sensitive, privileged client information? Security is our top priority.

We agree. That's why we're compliant with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. All documents are encrypted in transit and at rest with AES 256-bit encryption. You control access, and our systems are designed to protect attorney-client privilege.

My clients are not tech-savvy. This will be too complicated for them and create more work for me.

We designed the signer experience to be incredibly simple. Clients receive an email, click a link, and are guided through the signing process on any device—no downloads or account creation required. It's easier and faster for them than printing, signing, and scanning.

We are a small firm. This seems like an expensive enterprise tool we don't need.

eSignly is built for firms of all sizes. Our flexible plans, including a free option, allow you to start small and scale. The time you save on administrative tasks translates directly into more billable hours, meaning eSignly often pays for itself within the first few documents.

How does this fit with our existing Case Management Software and Document Management System?

Our powerful eSignature API is designed for seamless integration. You can connect eSignly to your existing systems to automate workflows, eliminate duplicate data entry, and keep all your case files centrally located and up-to-date.

I'm worried about tracking documents. How do I know who has signed and when?

Our real-time dashboard gives you complete visibility. You can see who has opened, viewed, and signed a document instantly. You can also set up automatic reminders to gently nudge signers who haven't completed the process, saving you from manual follow-ups.

How quickly can my firm start using eSignly?

Setup is immediate. Because eSignly is cloud-native, there is no hardware or software to install. You can create your account, upload a template, and send your first document in under 5 minutes. We are built for instant deployment.

What evidence do we have if a signer claims they didn't sign a document?

We provide a tamper-evident Certificate of Completion for every document. This audit trail records the signer's IP address, device information, and a timestamp of every interaction. This creates a digital chain of custody that is, in many cases, more verifiable than a physical signature.

Does eSignly support international law firms and cross-border agreements?

Absolutely. Our platform supports 18+ languages and is designed for global compliance, including GDPR for the EU. You can set data residency preferences to ensure your documents meet local sovereignty requirements wherever you operate.

Is there a way for us to test the service before committing to a paid plan?
