The use of electronic signatures dates back to 1867 by US courts which recognized the validity of a signature transmitted via telegraph. Large corporate firms were among the first early adopters, as digital signatures were an efficient tool to execute contracts cross border. COVID-19 has now forced most firms to collect signatures electronically.

For plaintiff firms, the use of electronic signatures is not only a time saver but also a competitive advantage.
