Why has eSignature become essential in the legal sector?
Law firms, mediators and legal professionals handle binding documents daily: contracts, statutory declarations, authorisations, leases and preliminary deeds. Paper-based signing delays slow down procedures, complicate client communications and increase the risk of errors or disputes.
Electronic signature allows legal professionals to formalise commitments quickly, while guaranteeing traceability, document integrity and proof of consent.
"A practice that has become routine, even validated by my solicitor's advice, on a day when the Law Society's platform wasn't working."

Which legal documents can be signed electronically?
Tailored to every legal role
Why is electronic signature valid in the legal sector?
Electronic signature benefits from a precise legal framework under UK and European law. It produces the same effects as a handwritten signature provided it allows the signer to be identified, guarantees document integrity and establishes a reliable link between the person and the signed document.
In the legal field, it can be used to formalise civil contracts, declarations or preliminary deeds, subject to adapting the signature level to the degree of legal stakes of the document (simple, advanced or qualified).
Secure your files against document fraud
Legal professions handle sensitive documents and confidential data. Electronic signature, combined with authentication and identity verification mechanisms, strengthens the security of procedures and limits the risks of disputes or identity fraud.

- Simple Electronic Signature (SES): for internal or low-stakes documents.

A risk analysis is recommended to determine the appropriate level.
