Problem

A sent retainer is not a signed one.

Signed

Why a sent retainer is not a signed one, and what changes when someone chases the signature.

The problem

Unsigned retainers

The scene

What it looks like inside the firm

You sent the retainer. The signature never came back. Questions about the agreement sit in an inbox. Reminders keep going after the person has signed, or never start at all.

The usual explanation

Unsigned means the person said no.

The actual cause

Sent got treated as done, and nobody is chasing the signature.

What it costs

The file sits in limbo, and nobody can say whether it is pending or lost.

What we do

We take over the step that keeps breaking.

What we do

We track every retainer you send, remind the client until it is signed, pass questions about the agreement back to you, and stop the reminders the moment the status changes. When a reminder sequence ends without a signature, we flag the file for your review instead of closing it.

What you keep

Unsigned is not the same as lost, and a stopped reminder is not a non-engagement letter. Pending stays pending until you say otherwise, and any letter about engagement comes from you.
