E-signatures and approval workflows for every legal process
One Platform for Signatures and Legal Approvals

Turn lengthy legal forms into easy-to-complete, guided experiences
Create a Better Client Intake Experience

Pre-fill sensitive data and manage permissions
Control Access & Confidentiality
Set specific fields as read-only to prevent unauthorized changes to contract terms. You can also utilize password protection and access controls to ensure that sensitive case information is accessed only by the intended recipient.
Integrate with cloud storage, automation platforms, and custom APIs
Powerful Legal Integrations
Automatically save signed documents to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box. Use Zapier, Make, or APIs to push structured data into case management systems, CRMs, or internal databases.
Export submissions as PDFs, CSV, or JSON to maintain clear records for audits, compliance, and case tracking.
Let clients pause and return—while you control when intake closes
Save Progress. Set Limits. Stay in Control
For time-sensitive matters like statute of limitations deadlines or limited representation offers, set submission limits to automatically close intake and redirect late inquiries to alternative resources. Professional, secure, and client-focused from first contact.
Create polished contracts, letters, and certificates before turning them into forms
Draft Legal Documents from a Prompt or Template
Use themes, pre-styled components, automatic page flow, page breaks, headers, and footers to keep multi-page documents consistent. When the document is ready, export a print-ready PDF or convert the same design into a fillable PDF or online form without rebuilding it. Review all AI-generated legal language before use.

FAQ’S
-
How does PlatoForms protect sensitive client information and maintain attorney-client privilege?
PlatoForms keeps client data secure with encryption, access controls, activity logs, and optional two-factor authentication, ensuring only authorized legal professionals can view or edit forms while maintaining confidentiality, compliance, and complete audit trails for sensitive client information. For full security documentation, visit our Trust Center. -
Can a law firm create a new legal document without an existing PDF?
Yes. Use PDF Document Creator to start with a ready-to-use PDF document template, a blank page, or an AI prompt for an engagement letter, NDA, legal notice, settlement agreement, or certificate. Edit the wording and layout, add firm branding and signature fields, then export a print-ready PDF or convert the same design into a fillable PDF or online form. Because legal requirements vary, your firm should review all AI-generated wording before using or sending the document. Follow the PDF Document Creator guide for setup steps. -
Can forms adapt based on case type or client responses?
Yes, absolutely! Conditional logic shows or hides questions based on responses—for example, displaying different questions for personal injury cases versus estate planning matters, or showing additional fields only for corporate clients. -
Can clients upload documents (like IDs or Evidence) through the forms?
Yes. You can add file upload fields to any form. This is perfect for collecting photos of IDs, scanned evidence, or previous contracts securely, directly attached to the client’s submission record. -
Can we customize the forms with our Law Firm’s branding?
Absolutely. You can customize your online forms with your firm’s logo, color scheme, and custom domain (CNAME). This ensures a seamless professional experience for your clients that builds trust from the moment they open the link. -
Can we send a contract to a client that is partially filled out?
Yes. Use the Invitation feature to send a form with specific fields pre-filled (like the client’s name, case number, or agreed settlement amount). You can lock these fields so the client cannot alter them, leaving them only to fill in their banking details or signature. -
Are e-signatures collected through PlatoForms legally binding for legal documents?
Yes, absolutely! PlatoForms supports legally valid electronic signatures with signature certificates and complete approval workflows, creating audit trails that meet legal requirements for engagement letters, retainers, settlement agreements, and other legal documents. -
What kind of support is available for law firms implementing online form solutions?
PlatoForms simplifies online form use for legal professionals with user-friendly interfaces and no coding required. We offer comprehensive support options like video tutorials, guides, FAQs, and a responsive support team. Legal professionals find the platform intuitive, with most attorneys becoming proficient within days, allowing quick implementation without disrupting existing workflows.
