Definition
An e-signature (electronic signature) is a legally recognized way to sign a document electronically, capturing intent to agree without printing, signing by hand, and scanning.
An e-signature lets someone approve a document with a click or a typed or drawn signature. In many countries, laws such as the US ESIGN Act and the EU eIDAS regulation give electronic signatures legal effect for the vast majority of business documents, though some document types are excluded and rules vary by jurisdiction. This is general information, not legal advice.
Beyond the signature mark, e-signature tools capture an audit trail - who signed, when, and from where - which is what gives an electronically signed document its legal weight and defensibility.
Atlas builds e-signature into contracts, so agreements can be sent, signed, and stored in the same workspace as the deal and project they belong to, with the signing record kept automatically.
