Electronic signatures are now a common and accepted practice across many areas in the legal profession, from Wills to Contracts. However, their rules can be far from straightforward as lawyers must navigate a patchwork of legislation, including the Corporations Act and other common law principles to ensure their clients' documents are validly executed and enforceable. 

This seminar will discuss the key issues facing practitioners, including: 

  • The relevant statutory frameworks relating to the Electronic Transactions Acts and key exceptions  
  • When is an E-signature acceptable and what legislation applies? 
  • Fraud and identity risks – ensuring the person pressing “sign” has authorisation  
  • Cross-border enforceability where multiple jurisdictions are involved. 
  • Practical strategies and education for your clients – Can your client assume ‘DocuSign’ means a document is complete’  

Ensure you have the knowledge and confidence to navigate electronic execution of documents, know when they are safe to use and how to manage client expectations so they can benefit safely from these technologies.
