Video Introduction
Watch authors Jeremiah S. Buckley and Margo H.K. Tank as they provide details behind the Electronic Signatures Act. The Law of Electronic Signatures and Records explains the impact of, and the liability associated with, both electronic signatures and electronic records laws. It summarizes the seemingly conflicting legal requirements associated with the Esign Act, UETA, and various state regulations that have made the operating and legal landscapes more complex. The authors, practitioners who are members of important committees working on e-sign issues, also describe how email-based communication, in certain contexts, constitutes a contractual obligation.
