White Paper: Top 6 Legal Risks When Adopting E-Signatures

eSignLive by VascoMoving business processes online without introducing new risks is not a simple task. The fraud, repudiation, admissibility and compliance risks are challenging enough to address when executing transactions on paper. If not done properly in the electronic world, these risks can be far greater. This paper discusses how a well-designed process, supported by new-generation electronic signature technology, can actually reduce risk and increase the enforceability of e-transactions compared to paper processes. (See the download form below.)

This paper explains how eSignLive addresses the top six risks of bringing processes online as identified by leading
e-commerce law firm, Locke Lord LLP, which has guided Fortune 500 companies in the design and implementation of
electronic signature processes:

  1. User Authentication Risk: “This Isn’t My Signature”
  2. Repudiation Risk: “That’s Not What I Signed”
  3. Admissibility Risk: “Objection, Your Honor”
  4. Compliance Risk: “I Never Saw That”
  5. Adoption Risk: “Am I Done Yet?”
  6. Relative Risk: “How Does It Compare to PAPER?”
