Document Sharing made Easy

Technology /

With the fast paced nature of today’s world, we know that not everyone has the time and luxury to fully flesh out an issue with just their words. In a legal setting, documents act as pillars to the various legal issues people have. The presence of a document instantly adds value to any legal issue you have. Documents also help explain certain legal issues in ways that might be hard to articulate in a concise manner. 

The ability to quickly provide them when needed is something that cannot be overlooked. This is even more important in today’s world which holds multiple file types and depending on the kind of software you use, certain file types might be rejected when uploading them onto certain platforms.

Legist is committed to providing a wonderful user experience for both customers and legal advocates, this is why we have made it possible for documents to be shared between all users of our app. You can send documents of up to 100 MB without the need for emails or file sharing apps.  With our app, it is possible to send all kinds of documents including PDFs and docs so you don’t have to worry about converting the file type for it to be accepted. 

The current limit for how large the document you can send at once is 100MB because we know that in regards to legal issues people are very likely to have large files containing a lot of information. This limit will also enable users to reduce the amount of times they have to share documents with each other.

Legist is very interested in the feedback of its customers and is open to any changes they suggest in regards to how document sharing is handled so we can continue providing a user-friendly experience to all of our users.

End to End Encryption

Technology /

Legist offers security to users using our platform. The importance we place on privacy makes our clients feel more comfortable discussing their issues.  We have built end-to-end encryption for your messages, photos and documents. Every Legist message is delivered to the recipient while preventing potential eavesdroppers from reading or modifying your message.

We believe in creating value for our users using tools like encryption. We want our users to speak freely about what’s most important to them. We want to help organizations reach their desired audience around the world. As more information becomes easily accessible online, we have made it our core belief to ensure our users’ information is protected.

Here is how it works: the sender forms an encrypted connection with Legist servers which allows the user to submit the encrypted message to Legist servers while we simultaneously form an encrypted connection with the recipient. Finally the recipient downloads the message through an encrypted connection.

Since information can be stolen by a third party to decrypt those interactions. We have taken steps to prevent third parties from deciphering the data communicated. The best part of end-to-end encryption is your messages are perfectly safe. Another way to think about it is the idea of a physical mailbox that can only be opened by the receiver. This is very important because the mail person cannot open the box even if they wanted to see the content of the mail.

The example above shows that the mail person cannot see the content but they also cannot change the content. This is very similar to Legist’s encryption methods which prevents anyone excluding the sender and the receiver from seeing the encrypted data. Every message on our app is stored securely, not even Legist can read or join your messages. We believe these additional features on Legist meet the needs of our users across the world.
