Execute agreements with an ironclad trail

Legal teams cannot afford ambiguity. SignTheDoc gives you controlled routing, locked fields, and a tamper-evident audit trail on every agreement — so an executed document is exactly that.

The challenge

What slows Legal teams down

Proving who signed what, and when, is a manual scramble

Version control breaks down across email

Signing order and approvals are hard to enforce

How SignTheDoc helps

A better way to sign

Enforce the signing order

Route through approvers and signers in the exact sequence your matter requires.

Lock the final version

Fields and content lock the moment signing completes, with a cryptographic seal.

Court-admissible trail

Every action is timestamped with identity and IP, producing a certificate that holds up.

Getting it right

What Legal teams need to watch

Court-admissible records

Every document carries a SHA-256 hash at send and completion, a signed certificate, per-page view durations, and full event attribution. The certificate is generated once and embedded in the PDF, so it remains verifiable independently of us.

Enforced execution order

Route through approvers and signatories in the exact sequence a matter requires, with fields and content locking the moment signing completes.

Witnessing requirements

Some jurisdictions require a witness to observe the signature being made rather than attest afterwards, and rules on remote witnessing vary. Check the local requirement before designing the flow — this is one of the few areas where routing errors invalidate the document.

How to start well

What the legal teams with the best results did first.

Version templates rather than editing them, so you can prove what the wording was in March
Enable return-for-changes on internal approval steps instead of full decline
Attach RFC 3161 trusted timestamps where timing is legally significant
Export and archive independently — do not rely on any single vendor as system of record

Connects with your stack

The tools legal teams most often connect. Anything else works via the API or Zapier.
