Electronic Signatures in Court
When bringing processes online, the question on most organizations’ minds is no longer whether electronic signatures are legal. Rather, how reliable is the technology? How can the risks associated with electronic transactions be minimized? How do businesses relying on electronic signatures fare in settlement negotiations? And failing settlement, do judges admit and enforce electronically signed records in courts when contested?
Silanis Inc. has posted a free white paper that answers those questions.
This six-page article serves to answer these questions, as well as outline how organizations can leverage electronic signatures in settlement when contested, and, failing settlement, effectively prepare for court should a dispute reach that point. The article reflects the recommendations of Greg Casamento, Partner at Locke Lord LLP, and Frank Zacherl, partner at Shutts & Bowen LLP.
