Abstract
Many businesses have proven themselves to be resilient and innovative in the light of Covid-19. Any stigma associated with remote working has long since been consigned to history. However, one fly in the ointment can be getting documents signed and/or witnessed, which has thrown a light on electronic signatures. E-signatures can, when used appropriately, provide a simple and elegant solution to an issue that has been exacerbated by Covid but which will continue to be an issue in the post-pandemic world.
