Manual Onboarding is a Liability, Not Just a Delay

The Compliance Gap

Ordinary e-signatures often lack the "presumption iuris tantum" needed in court.

The Efficiency Killer

Wet-ink processes and courier costs are high, risky, and slow down your billable velocity.

The Client Friction

Clients expect a digital-first experience forcing them to use printers and scanners creates a poor first impression.

Benefits

The Unified Ecosystem

You don’t need a complex stack to achieve high-assurance compliance. Trust Circle replaces disjointed vendors with a single, unified infrastructure for identity, access, and signing.

Onboard Clients in 10 Minutes, Not 14 Days

Accelerate your firm’s velocity by eliminating the manual "onboarding pain".

In the legal world, time is billable, yet manual intake often grinds productivity to a halt. By removing manual ID checks and physical paperwork, agreements that used to take weeks now complete in minutes. We consolidate the entire trust lifecycle - KYC, qualified signing, and document sharing - into one mobile flow that replaces legacy tools with a single, seamless experience.

Frequently asked questions

Why should my firm join the waitlist instead of waiting for the launch?

Joining the ZealiD Trust Circle waitlist gives your firm priority access to our Q2 2026 launch. As part of our product-market fit discovery, early waitlist members are eligible for specialized "Pilot" status, allowing you to influence the final product roadmap and receive dedicated onboarding support from our legal-vertical specialists.

Is there a cost to join the waitlist?

No. Joining the waitlist is a commitment-free way to secure your spot among the 500+ leaders currently preparing for a modern, digital-first client experience. Once we launch, you will be the first to receive invitation-only pricing and "Signing Pack" bundles tailored for high-volume legal practices.

What happens after I sign up?

You will receive a confirmation email and periodic updates on our eIDAS certification status and feature releases. As we approach the April 2025 campaign milestone, our team will reach out to qualified firms for discovery calls to ensure Trust Circle fits your specific practice requirements.

Is a ZealiD signature really the same as a handwritten one?

Yes. Under eIDAS Article 25(2), a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) is explicitly recognized as the legal equivalent of a handwritten signature across all EU Member States. Unlike simple or advanced signatures, a QES carries the presumption iuris tantum in its favor, meaning it is presumed authentic in court unless proven otherwise.

What happens if the validity of a signature is challenged in court?

Trust Circle provides "court-ready" evidence. Every signature is backed by a qualified certificate and a tamper-proof audit trail that includes the signer's verified identity, IP address, and an eIDAS-compliant timestamp. Because ZealiD is a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) on the EU Trusted List, your evidence bundle meets the highest technical standards for reliability and trustworthiness.

Where is our sensitive client data stored?

We prioritize data sovereignty. Unlike US-centric providers, all Trust Circle hosting and document storage are managed strictly within the European Union. This ensures absolute adherence to GDPR and local privacy laws, protecting legal professional privilege and sensitive "Protected Health Information" (PHI) where applicable.

Do my clients need special hardware to sign?

No. Trust Circle offers "Bank-Grade Security with Zero Hardware". The ZealiD App transforms any smartphone into a biometric secure enclave. Clients sign using Face ID or Touch ID, eliminating the need for physical smart cards, USB tokens, or card readers while maintaining the highest level of assurance.

Can I use this for all legal documents?

While QES is the strongest digital standard and covers nearly all contracts - including employment agreements and banking mandates - there are specific exceptions defined by national laws. In most jurisdictions, certain documents like notarial deeds or the termination of employment contracts may still require physical presence or specialized procedures.
