    Effective Use of Electronic Documentation for Both Consumer-Facing and Business Agreements
    It has been nearly twelve years since the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) became the law and electronic signatures, delivery and fulfillment methods have become a standard way to do business. Since then, forty-six states have also enacted the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (UETA). This session describes how a thoughtful e-process can actually reduce a company's risk, relative to traditional paper processes. Among the topics covered are a Six-Point Risk Assessment Framework and what the courts are saying about the enforceability of records signed with electronic signatures or sent solely via e-delivery.
