Document workflow, electronic signature, and records management for legal, finance, and corporate teams who can't compromise on chain of custody.
Document workflow used to live in three places at once: a SharePoint folder for the working files, an e-signing tool for the executed copies, and a long email thread reconstructing what changed between them. The audit trail was the email thread. Documents Platform was built to end that arrangement — to give legal, finance, and corporate teams a single place where the version, the signature, and the disclosure event share one chain of custody. The story of why that matters takes about five minutes to read.
Every change tracked, every reviewer logged, every comment surfaced. Compare any two versions in one click. Restore in three. The kind of audit trail that doesn't fall apart under cross-examination — because the parties cross-examining you are the ones we built it for.
"We replaced four point tools with one. The audit team noticed first." — Henrietta Vale, Wickham & Vale
eIDAS-conformant. UETA and ESIGN compliant. Every signature is bound to identity verification, IP address, geolocation, and a tamper-evident certificate of completion. Long-term validation is the default — every signed document is wrapped in a timestamp that re-anchors itself before the underlying certificates expire, indefinitely.
Most platforms treat external sharing as an afterthought. We treat the disclosure event as one of the most evidence-bearing things a document does in its lifetime. Granular access policies, dynamic watermarks, time-bound expiry, and per-page tracking of what was actually opened — and by whom.
Schedules per matter type. Legal-hold suspension that propagates automatically. Defensible deletion when a hold lifts and retention completes — with a full record of the decision. Records officers have a real desk in the product, not a buried admin panel.
"They built the system we wished we'd had. The audit team used to ask for binders. Now they ask for a date range."

Documents Platform was founded by Anneke Visser and Diego Aranha — formerly of iManage and DocuSign respectively — after a long financial-services audit they both worked on couldn't be reconstructed without a forensic accountant. They thought there was a better way to keep records. About thirty people now work on the platform, mostly out of Crown Place in London, with team members in Edinburgh, Lisbon, and Zürich.
The platform is SOC 2 Type II audited, ISO 27001 certified, and registered with the ICO as a UK GDPR processor. Customer data resides in London, Frankfurt, Virginia, or Toronto, with customer-managed encryption keys available on the Enterprise tier.
