How Law Firms Can Use DocFila for Engagement Letters and Client Docs

A practical look for solo attorneys and small firms: engagement letters, retainer agreements, and discovery scanning without printing.

Engagement letter to retainer in one sitting

Send the engagement letter for signature from your phone right after the consult. The client signs on their phone, and you get the signed PDF with its certificate of completion in your DocFila library.

Discovery scanning and OCR

DocFila reads typed and printed exhibits, faxed pages and old photocopies with on-device OCR; handwriting is read less reliably, so check it. Bates numbering is in PDF Tools on every plan and continues from one production to the next.

Privilege and confidentiality

DocFila is not end-to-end encrypted: its servers can read document text to run search and AI. Keep privileged material away from AI processing by switching AI to Off, or put it in the Vault as Encrypted, where the key never leaves your device. Signature requests carry a hash-chained audit trail of each consent, authentication and signature event with server timestamps; whether it meets the requirements of Federal Rule of Evidence 902(13) or any other rule in a given matter is a question for counsel.
