Electronic Signature Information

General principles

• Many jurisdictions recognize electronic signatures for ordinary commercial transactions.
• Some document types (for example certain wills, codicils, family-law documents, or real-estate instruments) may require specific formalities such as wet signatures, witnesses, or notarization.
• Counterparties, courts, and agencies may impose their own execution requirements.

Common frameworks

Examples include the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA, the EU eIDAS Regulation, and equivalent regimes in other jurisdictions. The applicability and effect of these frameworks depend on jurisdiction, transaction type, and the parties involved.

Your responsibility

Confirm electronic execution is appropriate for your document, jurisdiction, and counterparty. When in doubt, consult a qualified attorney.

Platform role

Where we offer electronic-signature features or integrations, those features are tools — not legal opinions on enforceability.
