In addition to his role at DocuSign, Ken also serves as the Chairman of the Public Policy Committee for the Electronic Signature and Records Association (ESRA) of Washington D.C. Ken discussed information on the state and federal statutory framework, case law and regulatory updates. He also dispelled myths on evidence and proof, provided practice tips and shared practical considerations associated with electronic signatures and records. CLE Course Highlights include:
