Compliant with eIDAS — advanced level (AES)
Signatures compliant with Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. For documents requiring qualified level (QES), our roadmap includes a partner QTSP provider — available upon request to law firms with this specific need.
Enforceable audit trail
In case of dispute, the Certyneo audit trail provides a coherent and time-stamped set of evidence that facilitates demonstrating informed consent and document integrity, in compliance with Article 1366 of the Civil Code.
Enhanced probative value
The probative value of an electronic signature depends on the ability to demonstrate to a judge two elements: the certain identification of the signatory and the integrity of the document (Article 1366 of the Civil Code).
Certyneo delivers for each signature an audit certificate embedded in the PDF, which groups all technical evidence:
- Identity of the signatory (email address, telephone number verified by dual-channel OTP)
- Qualified time-stamp of each action (view, signature, refusal)
- SHA-256 cryptographic hash of the document, which proves it has not been modified since signing
- IP address and rough geolocation of the signatory at the time of signing
- Detailed log of views, reminders, and actions on the envelope
This set of evidence is recognized by French (Cass. civ. 1st, 6 April 2016; Cass. com., 13 March 2019) and European case law. For documents bearing lawyer countersignature (electronic lawyer deed), the probative force is further strengthened — the client is exempt from any handwritten mention.
Compliance with CNB rules, Civil Code and eIDAS
Certyneo operates within the legal and ethical framework applicable to the legal profession.
CNB Rules (National Council of Bar Associations)
CNB ethics rules (RIN, National Internal Regulations) govern in particular the retention of files and confidentiality of client communications. Certyneo applies end-to-end encryption, strict isolation by firm, and probative-value archiving compatible with these obligations.
RPVA & e-Barreau
Certyneo is not a substitute for the Lawyers' Private Virtual Network (RPVA), which remains the tool for court communications. Certyneo electronic signature is complementary: it covers the lawyer-client relationship and agreements between colleagues, where RPVA covers court proceedings.
Articles 1366 & 1367 of the Civil Code
Electronic writing has the same probative force as paper writing provided the identity of the signatory can be duly established and the integrity of the document is guaranteed. Certyneo advanced signature (AES) satisfies both requirements.
Law of 31 December 1971 — Lawyer deed
Articles 66-3-1 to 66-3-3 define the deed under private hand countersigned by a lawyer, which benefits from enhanced probative force. Electronic countersignature by the lawyer is permitted provided the process guarantees identification and integrity — which Certyneo ensures.
Frequently asked questions from lawyers
Can a lawyer's fee agreement be signed electronically?
Yes, without difficulty. Article 10 of the law of 31 December 1971 amended by the Macron law requires a written agreement, but prescribes no particular form. Certyneo advanced electronic signature (AES) perfectly satisfies the probative requirement, with the advantage of precisely time-stamping the conclusion of the agreement before the start of the service.
What is an electronic lawyer deed and does Certyneo enable it?
The lawyer deed (Articles 66-3-1 to 66-3-3 of the law of 31 December 1971) is a deed under private hand countersigned by one or more lawyers, which benefits from enhanced probative force and exempts from handwritten mention. Certyneo allows the client to sign electronically (AES), then the lawyer to countersign electronically — everything is archived with a common audit trail.

Hida QES ofuma kenna pilaana karaa keenyaa keessatti waajjira.
Is the Certyneo audit trail admissible before a French judge?
Yes. The audit trail embeds in the signed PDF all elements required by Article 1366 of the Civil Code: signatory identification (dual-channel OTP), qualified time-stamp, document cryptographic hash, IP and rough geolocation. It constitutes a coherent set of evidence admissible before civil, commercial and labor courts.
Are firm data protected by professional privilege?
Yes. Certyneo applies TLS 1.3 encryption in transit and AES-256 at rest, strict data isolation by firm, and 100% Germany/EU hosting (IONOS) without outsourcing outside the EU. A standard DPA is available at signup and complies with GDPR requirements — it integrates specific clauses on confidentiality owed by legal professions.
Can a settlement agreement be signed by multiple parties each represented by a lawyer?
Yes. Certyneo natively handles sequential or parallel signatures between multiple parties and allows each lawyer to countersign the agreement on behalf of their client. The single audit trail brings together all signatures and time-stamps, facilitating archiving to each firm's file.
How long are signed documents retained?
Our plans include 10-year probative-value archiving, which corresponds to the general civil statute of limitations (Article 2224 of the Civil Code). For documents requiring longer retention (heritage, succession), extended archiving is available upon request. Documents remain downloadable at any time by the firm.
Does Certyneo interfere with RPVA or e-Barreau?
No, Certyneo is complementary: RPVA covers communications with courts (procedural documents), while Certyneo covers the lawyer-client relationship and exchanges between lawyers (fee agreements, protocols, settlement agreements). The two coexist without conflict and Certyneo stores no RPVA data.
