SAN FRANCISCO – March 29, 2012DocuSign, the global standard for electronic signature, announced today that the nation's forward-thinking law firms have standardized on DocuSign for eSignature to cut transaction cycle times to enhance client satisfaction, save time and money, and increase visibility and control during the document signing process.

"DocuSign has been helping companies transact business with greater security and convenience since 2003, so it makes sense that law firms are making DocuSign the industry standard for electronic signature," said Ken Moyle, Chief Legal Officer at DocuSign.
