Document Sharing made Easy

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

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.

Making it Easier on Legist with Search Tool

We’ve all been there, too much information in our hands and too little time to search through it all. You keep scrolling using your keyboard or if you’re lucky the scroll wheel on your mouse while frantically searching for that small piece of information you consider important. It might be a question, a paragraph, or just a statement. The fact is that there is too much information in today’s world, where information is easily accessible, it is extremely difficult to isolate what you need. Even with a mouse, if we are not careful it is easy to miss the object of your desire. In order to prevent this, the concept of user-friendly must become very important to everyone.

User-friendly design as its name suggests refers to a machine or technology that is easy to use and understand. In essence, your users must be able to easily and quickly find the information they require. In order to do that, there are certain steps that can be taken. 

You will require a well organized information architecture. The way information is arranged and presented is very important especially when you offer a wide range of information to attract your target customers. Another method is to make it easier to read by using correct formatting like headings and subheadings to highlight key information. The final and probably the most important step to achieving a user-friendly design is an innovative and effective navigation system.

A good navigation system is consistent between all browser formats making it accessible to all kinds of users no matter what technological preferences they possess. An effective navigation system also eliminates the burden of scrolling down through massive amounts of information. A good example is the implementation of a search feature with a drop down list of suggestions depending on the words the user types.

The navigation system has to provide a reasonable number of options to its users. A good number would be a list of ten. As websites and applications multiply with each growing day, it is extremely important that they possess well thought out user-friendly attributes that will guide users to their destinations with a minimum of fuss.

Legist’s Search tool allows you to find questions, and answers posted on our platform. The ability to find information in the shortest amount of time would help save time and increase productivity.

We hope you take full advantage of Legist’s search tool when engaging with your legal community.
