Legalesign is the integrated eSignature platform for growing companies. Our mission to be the best partner for our customers, in both technology and in service, for eSignature, eWitnessing and eApprovals.

Legalesign was founded by Ben Eliott. When Ben worked as a freelance software engineer back in the early 2000's he found that staged approvals for large projects were hard to get and enforce, but critical for survival.

With 100% of income dependent on a large project for several months, large clients could exploit weak or unenforceable approvals, creating a low income trap for workers at the bottom of the chain. Working with James Purves, a web designer, they decided to create a solution. Their first version was called 'Docshaker'.

When it became clear that making the app would be a full time project, James decided to focus on his business, Unstuck Design, but Ben pursued the vision to transform business agreements by studying for an MBA at nightschool at the University of Edinburgh and researching the idea in depth, where he wrote his disseration on eSignature and the ways it can add value to business.
