Practical answers
Legal Services FAQs
Can a law firm upload its own engagement letter?
A firm may provide an approved engagement letter as private source material for guided review. Uploading it does not automatically create a signable workflow; supported configuration and legal suitability must be confirmed first.
Does FormEsque provide legal templates or legal advice?
No. Firms are responsible for drafting, approving, and maintaining their legal documents and for determining whether electronic workflow is appropriate.
Is FormEsque a legal practice management system?
No. It does not replace conflicts, calendaring, matter management, trust accounting, e-discovery, court filing, or jurisdiction-specific recordkeeping systems.
