Electronic signature for law firms
in the United States.

Yes, in every state. The ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) gives electronic signatures the same legal effect as a handwritten one, and UETA — adopted by 49 states, with New York using its own equivalent statute, ESRA — reinforces that at the state level, as long as the signer's identity and the document's integrity can be established. Kligrafia is built to satisfy both with ID verification and a hash-chained audit trail.

The ESIGN Act carves out specific categories: wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts; family law matters like adoption and divorce; court orders and pleadings that must follow court rules; and certain notices (eviction, utility cancellation, insurance cancellation, product recalls). For everything else — engagement letters, NDAs, settlements, most contracts between private parties — an electronic signature is valid. Kligrafia is not a notary and does not perform Remote Online Notarization (RON); documents that require notarization or recording still need a commissioned notary.

Anyone opens kligrafia.com/verify, enters the document identifier, or scans the QR code on the signed PDF. No login, no account. The verifier shows the complete chain of events, the hash-chained cryptographic record, and the identity level each signer completed. If the document was altered after signing, the verifier flags it.

Level A (a one-time email code) fits low-risk agreements between parties who already know each other, like an internal NDA. Level B (a government-issued ID — driver's license or passport — with OCR and a face match against a selfie) fits engagement letters, settlements, and most client-facing contracts. Level C (Level B plus a short liveness video with randomized prompts) fits high-value or high-dispute-risk engagements. You choose the level per document, based on risk.

The Pro plan at $9/month signs from a single user — a solo practice or an individual attorney. For firms with more than one attorney, the Teams plan starts at 3 seats at $8/seat/month ($24 minimum). Each attorney gets their own login, templates are shared across the organization, and the audit log is accessible to administrators. REST API and webhooks are included with Teams.

Yes. Data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM at the organization level, with a per-organization key derived via HKDF. PostgreSQL enforces row-level security, so no other organization can access your templates or documents — isolation is enforced at the database engine level, not just the application layer.

Kligrafia is a tool your firm uses internally. What you charge a client for drafting and executing an agreement is part of your fees — the client doesn't see Kligrafia as a separate line item. They receive the email from your Pro or Teams account, sign from their phone, and it's on record. On the Teams plan, the evidence report the client downloads carries your firm's logo and name.

Yes, on the Teams and Enterprise plans. The REST API with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec lets you create documents, add signers, download signed PDFs, and check status from any system. Webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256 notify you of events in real time: sent, viewed, signed, completed. Compatible with any practice management system or CRM that accepts HTTP calls.
