Law Society publishes Q&A on electronic signatures

The Company Law Committee (CLC) of the Law Society has published a Q&A on the use of electronic signatures in commercial law matters

Lexis®Library update: In the Q&A, the CLC covers questions in relation to witnessing, methods of electronic signature, company board minutes and articles of association. Given that electronic signing is not possible for documents requiring rules of formality to be followed, such as statutory declarations and wills, these are not addressed by the Q&A.

This content was first published by LNB News / Lexis®Library, a LexisNexis® company, on 6 January 2021 and is published with permission. Further information can be found at: www.lexisnexis.com
