Electronic Signatures Made Easy

Probably one of the most important things we do as lawyers is make sure that documents, pleadings, declarations, affidavits, contracts, and other documents are signed by the relevant parties or ourselves.

While security and authenticity of signatures is always an issue, there are ways to deal with those issues as a matter of available technology, even from your iPhone or iPad.

One of the apps I just came across recently is Autograph by the makers of the Pogo stylus.  This app is extremely easy to use and is able to integrate itself with pdf documents and other documents which can be electronically signed.  Autograph also allows you to e-mail or save any signatures that you generate from your end or where the client has provided an e-signature to you.

I really like the simplicity of Autograph and would like to see some security features added soon.  I highly recommend that you check out this app for yourself.  An example of my own signature is just above the YouTube video above.  Once you get a feel for the stylus, it is very easy to get your signature into electronic form.
