A signature that survives the dispute it was made for.
Client care letters, terms of business and conveyancing packs — signed behind a one-time passcode, with an audit trail strong enough to put in front of a court or the SRA.
Hosted signing with your firm’s branding — driven from your case system via the API.
When a signature is challenged, the audit trail is your case.
Evidence, not assertion
A one-time passcode on the signer, then a sealed PDF with a PAdES digital signature and an RFC-3161 timestamp — checkable by the other side.
Holds up under scrutiny
Hash-chained events, sealed on completion. A single altered byte is visible — exactly what a dispute needs.
Your brand, not ours
The signer sees your firm. White-label by default; Pactivo never gets in the way of the client relationship.
In a regulated practice, “what exactly was signed” cannot be a guess. Pactivo makes it a verifiable fact attached to the document.
Frequently asked questions
Will a Pactivo e-signature stand up if it is challenged?
Pactivo records the evidence a challenge turns on: who was sent the document, that they cleared a passcode sent to their email, exactly what they signed, and when. It is kept in a hash-chained audit trail and a PDF sealed with a PAdES signature and an RFC 3161 timestamp. Whether a signature is upheld is for the court; the record makes it a matter of evidence rather than recollection.
Can law firms use Pactivo for conveyancing?
For client care letters, terms of business and similar documents, yes. Deeds for registration at HM Land Registry follow the Registry's own rules for electronic signatures (Practice Guide 82), so check those before e-signing a deed.
Do clients see our firm's branding?
Yes. The signer sees your firm, not Pactivo.
