How a Marketing & Advertising Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Lead Generation Agreement in California

Yes, your electronically signed Lead Generation Agreement is legally binding. Electronic signatures have the same legal weight as handwritten signatures under federal laws like the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and state laws adopting the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). These laws specifically ensure that contracts cannot be denied enforcement solely because they use electronic signatures. The key requirements are your intent to sign, consent to do business electronically, and proper record retention—all typically handled by reputable e-signature platforms. Your Lead Generation Agreement is just as enforceable as a paper contract, provided both parties intended to create a binding agreement and the essential contract elements are present.
