Overview

GitLaw eSign is the signing feature inside GitLaw, a legal document platform that combines drafting, review, storage, and electronic signatures in one workflow. It is presented as a free eSign option for standard commercial documents such as contracts, NDAs, service agreements, and offer letters.

The product is designed to reduce tool switching. Users can create a contract in GitLaw or upload an existing PDF, add signers, send the document for signature by email, and then store the signed file securely in GitLaw with an audit trail.

What GitLaw eSign does

Simple document setup

Prepare a document by creating it in GitLaw or uploading an existing file, then add the people who need to sign using the right-hand panel.

Built into the contracting flow

Send a signing request by email and keep the signing process inside GitLaw instead of switching to a separate eSignature tool.

Unlimited signing at no cost

GitLaw says its eSign experience is free, with no document limits, no trials, and no per-signature fees.

Secure storage and audit trail

Signed documents are stored securely in GitLaw, locked against further edits, and accompanied by a full audit trail.

Mobile-friendly signing

The signing flow is described as mobile-friendly and does not require an app download.

Connected with drafting and review

GitLaw positions eSign as part of a broader workflow that also includes drafting, review, and reminders before renewals.

Common ways to use GitLaw eSign

  • Sign a contract end to end

    Create a contract in GitLaw or upload a PDF, then route it for signature without moving to another tool.

  • Handle routine business agreements

    Use the built-in flow to send NDAs, service agreements, or offer letters for signature when you need a standard commercial document handled quickly.

  • Keep executed files organized

    Store the signed document in GitLaw so the final version is locked, searchable, and available with the audit trail for later reference.

  • Complete signatures on mobile

    Use the signing flow on a phone or tablet when you need to review and complete a document away from your desk.

  • Move from review to signature

    Combine review and signature by checking a contract in GitLaw, accepting edits, and then sending the same file for eSign.
