UK Electronic and Digital Signatures Law and Best Practice Training Course: Post-Brexit eIDAS Continuity, English Statute, and Common Law Shape Validity and Enforcement (Online Event: Apr 22, 2026) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Electronic and Digital Signatures - Understanding the Law and Best Practice Training Course (Apr 22, 2026)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Everybody signs documents. In an increasingly virtual world, there are increasingly virtual ways to sign documents - or are there?

Use of electronic signatures rather than 'wet' signatures may be increasingly widespread but the law on the use of these is far from clear as to when it is, and when it is not, allowed.

The law is a combination of European legal remnants in English law (the eIDAS Regulation which continues to apply post-Brexit), English statute and the common law. Understanding these laws will ensure that contracts and other documents signed digitally are legally binding and can be upheld in court. Compliance with these laws also helps to mitigate against risks associated with fraud, identity theft and unauthorised document alterations.

This session will explore the critical ins and outs of using digital signatures, covering practical advice as well as covering the latest proposals for reform of the law in this area. There will also be time during the event for you to ask the expert trainer your questions.
