The traditional funnel
Client submits intake, then gets a DocuSign link later. Every day of delay is another day a competing firm can reach them first.
- Separate tool after intake
- Drop-off between complete and sign
- Staff chasing signatures manually
The gap between intake completion and signed retainer is where most firms lose clients. Embed e-signatures in the IntakeOS flow so clients sign while they're still engaged.
From intake to signed ↓
THE FATAL GAP
A follow-up email days later to a tool they've never used is where signed cases disappear.

BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE GAP
Yes. Case Compass includes in-flow e-signature collection as a native step in the intake process. After a claimant completes the intake questions, they are presented with the retainer or authorization form to sign — without leaving the intake session or being redirected to a separate tool. This eliminates a major source of drop-off in the traditional intake funnel.
Yes. A single eSign step in the intake flow can include multiple documents — for example, a retainer agreement plus a medical authorization form. Clients sign all documents in one session, which is particularly useful for multi-document retainer packages common in personal injury and mass tort cases.
Case Compass sends automated SMS reminders to claimants with outstanding signature requests. You can configure reminder frequency and timing from the dashboard. The system tracks which leads have pending signatures so your intake team can follow up without manual monitoring.
Yes. Once a client has signed, their completed documents are available for download directly from the client portal. Signed documents are also automatically attached to the completion notification emails sent to your team.
Yes. Case Compass e-signatures comply with the ESIGN Act and UETA, which establish the legal validity of electronic signatures in the United States. Signed documents include an audit trail with timestamp, IP address, and signer identity information.
For intake retainer signing, yes. Case Compass eliminates the need to route claimants through a separate e-signature tool after intake — the signing step is embedded directly in the intake flow. This closes the gap between intake completion and retainer signature, which is where most law firms lose clients.
