E-signatures for solo attorneys and small law firms.
NDAs, letters of intent, powers of attorney, and demand letters — signed in minutes, free for you and your client or counterparty.
Who this is for
- A client needs to sign an engagement-adjacent document — an NDA, a letter of intent — before the substantive work starts.
- Sending a cease-and-desist or demand letter for signature acknowledgment shouldn't require the recipient to create an account.
- A power of attorney or similar document needs a clean, timestamped record of when it was signed.
- Per-seat legal-tech pricing doesn't make sense for a solo practice or small firm sending a modest volume of documents.
Why Docracy
Docracy is free for two-party signing — you and your client or the other side — with no account required for them to sign. Start from an NDA, letter of intent, power of attorney, or cease-and-desist template, fill in the specifics, and send.
What this is not: Docracy is not a practice-management or matter-management system, doesn't verify signer identity by default (paid/Enterprise accounts can add a WhatsApp-verified AES-track signature — see Trust & security), and doesn't offer notarization or Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES). For notarized documents, QES-requiring matters, or filings with a court's own e-filing system, use the appropriate dedicated tool. This page is not legal advice about what signature type your specific matter requires.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Docracy for a document that needs a Qualified Electronic Signature?
No — see the honest limit above. Docracy's signatures are simple electronic signatures (SES), not QES, and we're not a Qualified Trust Service Provider. For matters that specifically require QES or notarization, use a provider licensed for that.
Does Docracy replace my practice-management system?
No — it only handles getting a document signed. Matter tracking, billing, and client management still live in whatever practice-management tool you already use.
Can a client sign an NDA before we've had our first call?
Yes — send the link, they sign with no account, and you can have it back before the call even starts.
