How does SILQ's e-Signatures feature work?
This article will help you set up e-Signatures in SILQ and better understand how they work, including costs.
SILQ’s e-signatures are now live for all subscribers!
To get started: One-time, initial setup
The first time you want to request an e-signature, SILQ will send a confirmation email to your email address (the one you use to log in). You will need to click on the link provided in the email to confirm. You only have to do this once for each new user, the first time you want to request an e-signature.
How it works: Requesting e-Signatures:
To send your first e-signature request, select the relevant matter, scroll to ‘E-Signatures’ on the left-hand menu and select ‘New template’.
Highlight the template you wish to have generated and signed and follow the prompts.
NOTE: All people you want to sign the document must be added to the relevant matter before starting this e-Signature process.
Select the relevant email addresses and write your message requesting an e-Signature.
Then follow the prompts. Decide whether you want initials or signatures, and where in the document you require them.
Alternatively you can go to the Documents section and select an existing document and click the "E-Sign Document" button and the follow the same process as above.
Want to know your client’s e-signing experience? You can test the document prior to sending it to clients by selecting your own email address first. You will then receive the document for signing and will get a clear view of the client experience.
How it works: Viewing finalised, signed documents
The e-Signatures window will show you the status of all documents that have had requested signatures or been completed. All finalised and signed documents will be automatically downloaded and saved to the Document Register.
How it works: Costs
e-Signatures are available to all SILQ subscribers (Barristers and Solicitors) at an additional cost to your subscription. e-Signature costs will be charged to your SILQ account at the end of each month. Costs can be disbursed back to a matter to recover the cost from the client if you wish.
- $3 fee (ex GST) per signed document.
- $5 per document (ex GST) for ID verification or Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES).
Need an e-Signature urgently? Options to add SMS or WhatsApp notifications for faster signature turnaround are also available for a small additional fee.
