Free to view: Land Registry & DocuSign webinar on e-signatures & witnessing

DocuSign, the electronic signature specialists, is running a webinar on the latest guidance on witnessing electronic signatures in Land Registration deeds, and related topics

The webinar, which takes place at 3pm on 27 July 2021, will be of value to legal, real estate and finance professionals who work with digitally signed contracts. Since the pandemic started, the use of e-signatures has risen. Last year, HM Land Registry changed the rules to allow electronic witnessed signatures (WES) on land registration deeds and HM Revenue & Customs who recently introduced electronic signatures for stock transfer forms.

The webinar covers legal trends, how legal professionals modernised during the transition to remote work, which technologies legal teams are adopting to increase internal influence, and the latest guidelines on witnessing electronic signatures from HM Land Registry. Speakers include Doug Luftman, vice president and deputy general counsel, DocuSign; Emily d’Albuquerque, deputy director, central legal services, HM Land Registry; and Michael Abraham, product manager, HM Land Registry.
