Excerpts from What’s New for Interactive Electronic Signing in 2021?

In this episode of the Perspectives podcast, sponsored by Docusign and hosted on Law.com, we’ll hear highlights from the January 28th presentation titled, What’s New for Interactive Electronic Signing in 2021? 

In response to the ongoing pandemic, many federal agencies and state legislatures have revised their rules to allow for broader utilization of online solutions to remotely conduct business. This is opening up adoption of electronic signature and interactive signing technologies for a growing number of use cases – making it easier and more secure to approve business documents from anywhere – such as electronic authorizations for corporate SEC filings, additional tax documents and remote online notarizations. However, these changes are happening on an agency by agency, or state by state basis – some temporarily and some more permanently.

The experts in this podcast – Doug Luftman, VP & Deputy General Counsel at Docusign; Michael Scheimer, Counsel at Hogan Lovells; James Denvil, Counsel at Hogan Lovells; and Jamie Wickett, Partner at Hogan Lovells – discuss some of the most relevant state and federal agency changes in 2020 impacting the use of electronic signatures, and more.
