E-Signed - and Sealed? Executing Deeds in the Digital Age

Arranging for deeds and other documents to be signed is an everyday part of a lawyer's job. But in today's world of virtual signings, electronic signatures and cross-border transactions, it's more important than ever to get the fiddly formalities right, so that when it's time to put pen to paper – or to copy and paste – your documents stay signed, sealed and delivered.
