Attorney email signature examples

Open any of these in the generator with the lawyer template already set, then change the details to yours. The confidentiality notice is pasted in your email app, under the signature.

Sample confidentiality notice

CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments may contain privileged or confidential information. If you received it in error, please tell the sender and delete it.

Edit it to match your firm's wording, then paste it under your signature in your email app's signature settings.

What to include

What to put in a lawyer email signature

  1. Your name

    Add Esq. only if you are licensed to practice. Use one of Esq. or J.D., not both.

  2. Title and practice area

    Partner, Associate or Of Counsel, plus your practice area so people know what you handle.

  3. Firm name and address

    Your firm, and the office address if your firm lists it.

  4. Bar admissions

    For example, Admitted in NY and NJ. It tells clients where you can act for them.

  5. A direct line

    One number that reaches you, not the main switchboard.

  6. A confidentiality notice

    Two short lines in small text, pasted under the signature in your email app. Keep it brief so it doesn't bury your details.

  7. Your contact card

    Link your ConnectMachine card so clients can save your details in one tap.

Leave these out

  • A long disclaimer in full-size text
  • Taglines that read like legal advice
  • Several logos or award badges
  • More than one phone number

Add it to your email
