<p>Mobile technology changed the way we communicate, share information,  shop, and entertain ourselves. So it comes as no surprise that someone would invent a tool to simplify legal transactions using your smartphone.</p>
<p>The folks over at <a href="http://www.shakelaw.com/">Shake designed an app</a> to record agreements for everyday transactions&#8211;from a personal loan to a friend, to a contract for freelance work and more. The app, which is available for iPhone, walks users through a series of questions to create legal documents that can be signed and/or sent to another person, even to your lawyer.  Documents can be signed on any mobile device and are stored securely in the cloud for reference later on.</p>
<p>For budding entrepreneurs who can&#8217;t afford to hire a lawyer, this a great way to create simple and plain-language legal agreements.  You can save the big bucks for complex legal agreements.</p>
<p>Shake is in no way a replacement for a lawyer, but a tool to help you create enforceable legal documents.  If you feel you need counsel, by all means seek it out. Shake&#8217;s founders emphasize that point in this <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2013/09/12/shake-on-it-new-app-puts-legally-binding-documents-at-your-fingertips/">article from Forbes</a> and <a href="http://www.shakelaw.com/faqs/">on their FAQ page</a>.</p>
<p>You can download the app for iPhone<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id601561998?mt=8&amp;&amp;referrer=click%3Dbae79f5b-8603-45bf-9e4c-b3e869fa5ebe"> from the App Store</a>.</p>
<p>If you have tried Shake&#8217;s app let us know in the comments below.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
