Key scenarios covered
- Validity - are e-signatures legal, valid and binding in the relevant jurisdiction?
- Enforceability - would a court recognise and enforce an agreement validly e-signed in accordance with its governing law?
- Admissibility - is a document which has been e-signed admissible in court?
- Specific agreements / document types - what is the position relating to specific document types? e.g. deeds, guarantees, loan agreements, company documents such as board minutes or board resolutions, powers of attorney and employee agreements
- Impact - where the parties to an agreement are natural versus legal persons
- Witnessing - how can e-signatures apply to documents that need to be witnessed?
- Registration - can e-signed documents be registered or filed e.g. with authorities relating to tax, real estate, intellectual property and security filings?
In order to make sense of the impact of complex fact patterns Rulefinder E-Signatures includes a proprietary user friendly tool for analysing multi-jurisdictional fact patterns.
For example, where your agreement is governed by the law of Jurisdiction A, the signatories are in Jurisdictions A, B and C, the agreement needs to be filed or registered in Jurisdiction C and the agreement may need to be enforced in Jurisdictions A to C.
Our multi jurisdiction analysis view brings together the fact patterns of your choice into a single easy to read report.
