Description

Every time a contract was signed in the past, it was done when someone held a pen in their hand and scribbled their John Hancock on a piece of paper. Well, the days of exclusively using “wet ink” signatures are gone. Technology has allowed us to sign documents electronically for years, but (obviously) the COVID situation made e-signatures far more common.

The distance that was forced upon all of us caused us to adopt e-signatures in a far more widespread manner. The technology was obviously available before COVID, but it became almost necessary during the pandemic. Well, the genie isn’t going into the bottle. E-signatures are now here to stay, so lawyers need to understand how they work, the laws that govern, and the risks that come with that technology.
