Engagement Letter E-Signing
Send engagement letters for e-signature without leaving your matter.
Statular turns your firm's own engagement letter into a template, fills in the client and fee details for each matter, and collects legally binding electronic signatures from clients, co-clients, and the attorney.
The engagement letter is the first document every representation depends on, and the slowest to get back. Printing, mailing, or juggling a separate e-signature subscription adds days between the consultation and a signed engagement. Statular builds e-signing into the same place the letter is generated, so the retainer that used to take a week comes back the same afternoon.
Your letter, not ours
Upload the engagement letter your firm already uses as a Word document. Merge variables fill in the client, co-client, attorney, fee, payment terms, engagement date, and scope for every matter, and the letter keeps your letterhead, language, and formatting.
Signature fields that place themselves
Add simple signature variables to the letter once. Statular converts them into properly positioned signature boxes when the letter is sent, and date fields fill automatically the moment each party signs — no dragging boxes onto a PDF for every client.
Built for joint representation
Joint matters route one letter to the client, co-client, and attorney, each with their own signature and date line. California firms can also generate and e-sign a consent to dual representation from the same picker.
Workflow
How it works in a matter
01
Generate the letter from the matter
Pick the template, confirm the fee, payment terms, engagement date, and scope in one dialog, and Statular produces the finished letter as a DOCX tied to the matter.
02
Send it for signature
Confirm the recipients and send. Every signer receives an email with the letter and signs from any browser — no account, printer, or scanner required.
03
Track it to completion
The matter shows the request status — sent, partially signed, completed, or declined — and when everyone has signed, the executed PDF and its completion certificate are filed with the matter automatically.
