The legality of eSignatures: all your questions answered

Overview

There are often many questions surrounding the legality of electronic signatures, such as in what instances eSignatures can be used and if they are legally binding, or in other words: can they hold up in court?

That’s why we organised the webinar The legality of eSignatures: all your questions answered on the 8 June 2021, at 10.00am CEST.

During this webinar we were joined by Berend van der Eijk, counsel at Bird & Bird and Denise Fitzgerald, senior sales manager at DocuSign. We speak about how eSignatures work, why they’re more secure than wet signatures, and how to ensure legal validity of your agreements.

We touch on topics like:

  • What are eSignatures and where can they be used?
  • The legal validity and security of electronic signatures within the UK.
  • The eIDAS Regulation and how this is incorporated in local legislation.
