A joint working party of the City of London Law Society (CLLS) and the Law Society of England and Wales Company Law & Financial Law Committees (the Joint Working Party) has published note on the execution of a document using an electronic signature. 

Lexis®Library update: The note was originally published in 2016 by the Joint Working Party to help parties to a transaction, and their legal advisers, who wish to execute contracts using an electronic signature. The note has been updated to reflect developments since 2016 including the more widespread use of e-signing platforms and changes to the legislative framework.

The updated note can be found here.

A separate blacklined version showing the changes made to the original note can be found here.
