A standardized block of text appended to the end of an electronic message originating from a legal practice identifies the sender, their title, and relevant contact details. It commonly includes the firms name, physical address, phone number, website, and potentially social media links. For example, a signature might read: “Jane Doe, Attorney at Law, Smith & Jones LLP, 123 Main Street, Anytown, USA, Phone: 555-1212, www.smithandjones.com.”
This element provides immediate confirmation of the sender’s professional affiliation and facilitates easy communication. It enhances credibility and reinforces brand recognition. The consistent use of these elements across all firm communications fosters a polished and professional image. Its development stems from earlier practices of formal business correspondence and has adapted to the digital age.
