ALG developed the Attestation Légale platform, a service for collecting and authenticating the administrative documents involved in contractual processes. Thanks to Namirial’s electronic signature, the platform has strengthened the security of its processes and tripled its growth forecast.
This service was initially aimed at the real estate and construction sectors but has since diversified to cover numerous industries. Its goal is to simplify relationships between clients and suppliers through streamlined, confidential document management, the creation of a single, complete and centralized administrative file, and its online sharing through the Attestation Légale platform.
As a specialized trusted third party, ALG manages the administrative files of 8,000 companies and ensures their processing for both public and private clients, including Vinci Construction, Bouygues Construction, Fiducial, and Nexity, among others. With a practical approach, this secure platform makes it possible to collect, store and authenticate all the administrative documents required to launch new projects: business registry entries, tax certificates, social security certificates, tax compliance certificates, insurance contract certificates, qualification certificates, banking data certificates, financial statements, transport licenses, and more.

Electronic Signature: A Response to a Real Business Need
Implementing electronic signature within the Attestation Légale platform addresses a genuine business need. Companies are required to submit a list of foreign workers authorized to work in the territory as part of the documents making up their legal file. This certificate must be updated periodically and, to do so, needs to be signed by a company representative.
As Jean-Louis Brunet, Technical Director at ALG, explains, at first electronic signature was seen as a simple tool for them: what they wanted was to be able to handle procedures with service providers through a white-label solution integrated directly into the platform, tailored to their specific needs. Following this approach, they used the services of a well-known market provider for a time to offer the electronic signature option, and their clients could electronically sign the necessary documents; broadly speaking, the expected service was delivered and remained transparent to the user.
In practice, however, the ALG team regularly had to deal with technical difficulties stemming from their former partner’s platform. Brunet notes that the situation was becoming increasingly unacceptable, especially as they were experiencing strong growth and handling an ever-larger volume of documents requiring signature. They also wanted more than a simple document signature and sought to work with a trusted service provider that could offer the ability to attach a certificate to all documents in the legal file.
“ALG offers a simple, concrete answer to a real problem faced by many users who want to fully digitize their relationships with suppliers and are looking for a trusted third-party service to handle administrative burdens. Our role is to act as a mediator, providing a guarantee to all exchanges and security to documents.”

Choosing a Recognized Trusted Third Party
It was precisely this dual objective — strengthening the security and performance of the electronic signature service, and being able to attach a certificate to all the legal documentation managed by Attestation Légale — that convinced ALG and led them to reach out to Namirial.
As a trusted third party and a major player in the French electronic signature market, Namirial holds all French and European certifications, and its platform was chosen by ALG as the only one capable of effectively meeting their expectations. Namirial offers a range of technical and functional advantages that play a key role in certification and in providing security and guarantees.
Clémentine Chastan notes that Namirial’s modern, innovative approach to electronic signature confirmed ALG’s decision: online signing, apps usable across multiple devices, and all the features the solution offers represent very important differentiators, and the potential for growth they could achieve on their own platform by relying on a recognized, innovative company proved decisive.
A Disruptive Innovation Implemented Successfully
The integration phase went smoothly, with no problems or technical obstacles. Jean-Louis Brunet recalls that integrating Namirial’s API into their platform was carried out with the help of a newly hired employee, who was unfamiliar with either the tool or the company’s environment. Thanks to the detailed documentation provided during implementation, the simplicity of the process, and the extensive experience of the project manager in charge, everything went very smoothly.
“In short, it took us less than 10 days to integrate Namirial’s electronic signature. This change — dropping the old solution and implementing the new one — happened very smoothly, without issues, and completely transparently for our users.”

Electronically signing a document on the Attestation Légale platform has never been easier. Users simply log into the platform with their password. From there, they can access the electronic document signing service. Once identity is confirmed via password, users can sign documents and validate the legal file.
Jean-Louis Brunet notes that their clients have been using Namirial’s solution for about a year now, without a single error occurring: the user experience has been very positive, and the relationship with suppliers has run smoothly.
Switching providers proved to be a good idea from several perspectives:
- Namirial‘s certifications and qualifications have strengthened Attestation Légale‘s position as a trusted third party.
- The optimized security brought to the documents has strengthened the client-supplier relationships that take place through the platform.
- The partnership between Namirial and Attestation Légale is an example of added value and has generated positive momentum in a context where digitalization expectations are high.
Jean-Louis Brunet sums up the collaboration by highlighting responsiveness, availability, and answers that met their expectations: ALG feels aligned with Namirial’s values, especially its philosophy of taking great care of its customers and striving to provide the best possible solutions to identified needs.
Attestation Légale Triples Its Growth Forecast
Attestation Légale is currently positioned as a long-term solution that allows legal entities to manage their digital identity and all the associated data.
ALG has succeeded in bringing a new dimension to the Attestation Légale platform, and numerous functional developments are currently underway. Jean-Louis Brunet enthusiastically shares that their teams have spent several weeks improving the platform, aiming to offer a better user experience for their clients; they want to take their document digitalization philosophy even further, and to that end have offered clients, among other things, an online payment module.
“The flexibility and adaptability of Namirial’s solution allow us to open up enormous potential for growth, which will let us handle, among other things, an increased volume of signatures, the signing of our own service contracts, powers of attorney, acceptance of terms and conditions, electronic signatures for legal entities, and much more.”
— Jean-Louis Brunet, Technical Director, ALG
In short, the partnership between Attestation Légale and Namirial — two key players in the digital trust sector — is only just beginning, and the outlook for the future is very positive.
