CLE presented by Strafford Publications, Inc. A live 90-minute CLE webinar with interactive Q&A.
This CLE webinar will provide counsel with an examination of recent legal trends and developments impacting commercial documentation and signatures sent via email, text messaging, or other forms of electronic communication, with a focus on loan documentation. The panel will examine legal and practical issues regarding the authentication of electronic signatures and the admissibility of electronic communications and e-signatures in litigation, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and UCC implications.
The panel will review these and other relevant issues:
- What are the legal issues surrounding electronic signatures?
- What is the interplay between ESIGN and UETA and the UCC, and how does this impact various agreements that are part of a typical loan package?
- What have we learned from closing deals remotely during COVID-19 lockdown?
- What potential new revisions to the UCC could impact electronic closings?
- What enforceability, authentication, and admissibility challenges do counsel face in litigation involving electronic loan documents?
