Our May 2020 Legal Update on document signing by companies during Covid-19 provided guidance on temporary laws that were implemented that made it easier for company officers to sign documents, including permitting an agreement to be signed electronically by company officers.  The new law was to last for 6 months from 6 May 2020.

The Corporations (Coronavirus Economic Response) Determination (No. 3) 2020 (“Determination”) has now extended the operation of the temporary laws until 21 March 2021. 

Please see our May 2020 Legal Update for further details on these temporary laws and the ways in which a document can be signed by a company. If you have any queries please get in touch with the Sierra Legal team.
