Adobe Acrobat Sign is a document cloud solution that helps organisations deliver end-to-end digital document experiences with trusted, legal electronic signatures. Deloitte is a strategic global Alliance Partner to Adobe, with over 25 years of experience working with Adobe as a customer, supplier and partner, and a long history of collaboration on product strategy and direction.
Deloitte Legal and Adobe have formed a strategic alliance to support clients in the roll-out and adoption of Adobe Acrobat Sign – both locally and globally. Adobe provides the technology and strategic implementation for clients and Deloitte Legal can help you develop an internal environment that is ready and able to adopt e-signature solutions, and provide technology to give structured advice on valid and enforceable electronic signature methods, for both single and multi-jurisdictional arrangements.
How might the Adobe e-signature tool benefit your company?
- Quick access to key document and contracts from any location, on mobile or desktop
- Ability to sign documents electronically with ease – no downloads or sign-ups required
- Legally binding process which is secure and verifiable – digital IDs come from accredited Trust Service Providers (TSPs)
- The digital signature and the PDF document are cryptographically bound, protected and secured with a tamper-evident seal
How Deloitte Legal can help?
Deloitte has developed a software platform which gives answers to the ever-changing, often complex, “(how) can I e-sign this document?” – including for knotty multi-jurisdictional arrangements, and leveraging existing document templates where appropriate.
Deloitte has also established a dedicated team of professionals to:
- Maintain and support our global database of electronic signature rules and laws
- Support clients with the formation of electronic signature policies and processes
- Conduct and maintain inventories of documents, agreements, policies, legal entities and approved signature providers tailored to clients’ arrangements
- Identify further legal requirements to ensure compliance with general and industry-specific privacy risks (e.g. GDPR, Swiss banking secrecy, etc.)
- Support clients to perform a due diligence of existing contract type to assess legal requirements and/or risks across a company’s geographical footprint
Deloitte Legal works with companies on a multi-jurisdictional basis to help them derive the full benefits of their electronic signature tools, and to implement robust coherent global policies in respect of their use.
