Legal departments
Control contract execution and preserve the evidence behind it
In-house legal teams need contract and matter documents to move efficiently while preserving the approvals, signer activity, and record context required after execution.
- NDAs, agreements, and legal orders
- Reviewer, approval, and signature routing
- Certificate and audit evidence
- Retention and post-execution verification
Built for
General counsel, legal operations, contract managers, corporate secretarial teams, compliance partners, and business approvers.
The operating challenge
The legal record includes the route, not only the final PDF
Agreements often move through business owners, legal reviewers, counterparties, executives, and finance. The completed record should preserve how that route was completed.
Documents in scope
- NDAs and confidentiality agreements
- Client and vendor agreements
- Affidavits and authorizations
- Legal orders and approvals
- Contract and invoice approvals
- Corporate and matter documents

Evaluate the workflow with precise answers
Can legal teams keep reviewers separate from signers?
Yes. Reviewers, signers, approvers, and carbon-copy recipients can be assigned distinct roles in the workflow.
Can access to forensic evidence be restricted?
Yes. A recipient can request comparison, but the trusted record and supporting evidence remain subject to the document owner’s permission.
