Everything you need to know.
Yes. Electronic signatures are admissible in court under the federal ESIGN Act and applicable state laws. The Zignature Certificate of Completion — documenting signer identity, IP address, geolocation, timestamp, and document hash — satisfies the authentication requirements under Federal Rule of Evidence 901 and its state equivalents.
Yes. Most state bar associations expressly permit electronic retainer agreements. The ABA's Model Rules don't require wet signatures on engagement letters. Zignature's audit trail provides stronger evidence of client consent than most paper alternatives, making it defensible in fee dispute proceedings.
Yes. Through the eIDEasy integration, Zignature supports Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) under the EU's eIDAS Regulation — the highest legal signature standard in the EU, equivalent to a handwritten signature. This is relevant for cross-border matters involving EU clients or EU-governed agreements.
Settlement agreements often require signatures from plaintiff, defendant, and potentially multiple insurers. Zignature's sequential signing routes the document to each party in the configured order. Each party signs independently, and the final executed PDF includes all signatures with individual timestamps — the complete execution record for court filing.
Yes. Zignature integrates with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, and other practice management platforms via API and Zapier. Configure automatic engagement letter sends when new matters are opened in your practice management system, with signed documents automatically uploaded to the matter file.
For notarized documents, Zignature integrates with Remote Online Notarization (RON) providers such as Notarize and Proof. You can complete the electronic signature and RON notarization in a connected workflow, with the fully notarized document stored in your Zignature account.
Zignature encrypts all documents at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Access controls limit document visibility to authorized users in your firm. SOC 2 Type II certification documents the security controls supporting privilege protection. Your firm is responsible for implementing appropriate access controls for each matter.
Yes. Zignature supports documents of any size and length. Complex commercial agreements with multiple exhibits, schedules, and attachments can all be combined into a single signing package. There's no page limit or file size restriction that would prevent handling large legal documents.
