What are Counterparts and Electronic Signatures?

Counterparts refer to copies of a legal document that are executed (signed) by different parties. Each party signs their own copy, and together these copies form a single binding agreement.

Electronic Signatures are digital forms of signatures that indicate a person’s intent to sign a document. They can be in the form of an image of a physical signature, a typed name, a unique digital code, or other electronic consent.

When should I use Counterparts and Electronic Signatures?

Counterparts:

  • Use counterparts when parties are in different locations, making it impractical to sign the same physical document.
  • They are particularly useful in multi-party agreements where coordinating a single signing session is logistically challenging.

Electronic Signatures:

  • Use electronic signatures for speed and convenience in signing agreements, especially in remote or online transactions.
  • They are essential for businesses that operate across different states or countries, reducing the need for physical presence.
  • They are legally binding in many jurisdictions under laws like the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and the European Union’s eIDAS Regulation.

How do I write Counterparts and Electronic Signatures clauses?

Counterparts Clause:

Electronic Signatures Clause:

This Agreement and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith may be executed by electronic signature, which shall be considered as an original signature for all purposes and shall have the same force and effect as an original signature.
