Not every document carries the same risk, and your signature method shouldn’t either
A routine engagement letter and a power of attorney are not the same document, and treating them the same, either over-securing the simple ones or under-protecting the serious ones, is a decision made by default, not by design. Asignu supports all three eIDAS signature levels, so the level of assurance is a choice you make, not one made for you.
Evidence, not assumptions
When a signature is challenged, “the client signed it” isn’t an answer. Evidence is. You need a record detailed enough to stand up to scrutiny, on the documents where it matters, without adding friction to the routine correspondence that makes up most of your practice’s paperwork.
One method for every document, until it isn’t enough
Most practices default to one signing method for everything: either something too light for a power of attorney, or something so heavy it slows down a routine letter that never needed it. And when a multi-party agreement needs signatures in a specific order, enforcing that manually, chasing the second signer only after the first is done, relies on someone remembering to check.
Match the signature to the matter
Choose SES, AES, or QES per document, matched to what that specific matter requires, not a one-size-fits-all default. Every signature, regardless of level, is backed by a detailed audit trail: timestamps, IP addresses, and the exact identity verification method used. And for agreements that need a defined order, sequential signing enforces it automatically, so the second signer simply can’t act until the first has.
Where the stakes are highest
Legal and professional services carry some of the highest stakes of any industry when a signature’s validity is questioned, and the audit trail behind it needs to be strong enough to matter in that moment. QES specifically carries the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under eIDAS, relevant wherever that certainty is non-negotiable, such as powers of attorney.
