Electronic contracts and electronic signatures under Australian law – the case for reform
We are increasingly entering into contracts electronically, whether this is via email, an app or the cloud. These methods are accepted by Australian courts as a valid, and by Australian businesses as a secure and efficient way of doing business in Australia. COVID-19 has highlighted an area of regulation in Australia where uncertainties remain: signing deeds, signing by companies and witnessing.
Watch this on-demand webinar where you will hear from DocuSign, King & Wood Mallesons and the Australian Banking Association where they discuss:
What is an electronic signature and best practices on the use of electronic signatures?
While increasingly common place, what are the specific areas of legal uncertainty when using electronic signatures?
Have these issues been resolved by temporary COVID-19 emergency law reforms?
What further reforms are needed and how can you help ensure such reforms become permanent?
