Is your current QES provider still the right fit?

Your firm’s signing requirements may have changed since you chose your current provider. But has your signing platform kept up?

Perhaps you’re paying for enterprise functionality your teams rarely use, managing different signing requirements across multiple platforms, or working around software that doesn’t fit your existing processes.

For firms operating across multiple departments or offices, this can make it harder to maintain consistent signing processes and oversight, while adding unnecessary costs and administration.

You shouldn’t have to compromise on the platform experience to get the legal assurance you need.

With Signable, you can bring your signing requirements together in one place, with a platform designed to support the way your firm works.

Hear from Denovo’s Managing Director, Steven Hill, and Signable’s Product Manager, Laura, as they discuss how connected systems, digital identity verification, and QES can help Scottish law firms work more efficiently and build client trust.

QES you can trust for Scots law

When choosing a QES provider, legal assurance isn’t optional. Your firm needs confidence that its signing solution can support the requirements of Scottish law while protecting sensitive information.

Signable provides access to Qualified Electronic Signatures in partnership with our QTSP, Evrotrust, which verifies signers’ identities as part of the qualified signing process.

Under the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995, eligible electronic documents signed using QES can benefit from self-proving status when the relevant legal requirements are met.

Signable is also ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining internationally recognised information security standards.

Verify the signer’s identity

The signer completes biometric identity verification through Evrotrust using a compatible mobile device and an NFC-enabled passport.
