Electronic Transactions in 2026: E-Signature, Remote Notarization, and the New Legal Landscape: What Credit Executives Need to Know

Presenter: Wanda Borges, Esq., Borges & Associates, LLC

The legal framework governing electronic signatures and electronic transactions has evolved rapidly since 2020. While the federal ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) remain the foundation of electronic‑signature legality, states continue to update and reinterpret their own statutes — including expanded adoption of remote online notarization (RON) laws and state‑specific electronic‑transaction acts. Recent judicial decisions have further clarified what constitutes a valid electronic signature, how consent to electronic contracting must be demonstrated, and the evidentiary standards courts apply when determining whether an electronic record is enforceable.

This updated program provides credit executives and compliance professionals with an understanding of the modern rules governing electronic transactions. Participants will learn how courts are currently evaluating electronic signatures, what technological and procedural safeguards companies must implement, and how to ensure that electronically executed credit applications, insertion orders, and commercial agreements are legally binding and defensible.

It’s time to gear up for our annual Legal Symposium!
