Electronic Signature Software FAQs

What is an eSignature?

An electronic signature, or eSignature, refers to signing a document digitally. eSignatures work the same way all signatures do, enabling anyone to sign legally binding documents and contracts without requiring paper and pen.

How does electronic signature software work?

eSignature software allows anyone, anywhere, to sign legally binding contracts. However, since each signature is unique to the signer, legal electronic signature software uses algorithms to generate keys that allow a signer to use their private signature at any time and encrypt the data to keep it secure. In addition, the signature is given a timestamp for when the document is signed. 

 

Of course, electronic signature software varies depending on the type you use. In most cases, individuals can write or draw their signature using their desktop cursor or finger on a smartphone or tablet. Once the signature is confirmed, the software enables you to add it to the signature line of any document.

Why should law firms use eSignatures?

eSignature software is ideal for legal use because it can be more secure than paper documents. In addition, eSignatures are more convenient and save time on both ends. Now, clients don’t have to travel to the office or send documents in the mail, speeding up the time it takes for you to deliver exceptional services. Additionally, lawyers can save signed documents directly to their computers or other law firm software to ensure they have them when needed.

Are electronic signatures legal?

Electronic signatures are legal and valid in all US states and most countries across the globe. In most cases, an eSignature is all that’s required to create a legally binding document. However, some documents may require further authentication. eSignatures are legally enforceable and reduce the risk of human error in validating signatures and handwriting.

How secure is MyCase's legal electronic signature software?

MyCase implements data security technology to safeguard your and your clients’ eSignatures to prevent theft. We use bank-grade encryption to send and receive data and prevent sensitive information, such as eSignatures, from getting stolen. Additionally, all signed documents have an audit trail to ensure you have signatures on any updated contracts.

What is the best electronic signature software?

MyCase’s electronic signature software is more convenient for lawyers because it’s part of our comprehensive legal case management platform. In addition, our hassle-free eSignature software is included with your subscription at no additional cost to let you collect signatures when needed and streamline approvals.
