Physician Employment Agreement
North Carolina
Can a physician employment agreement be digital?
I am a physician looking to enter into an employment agreement with a hospital. I am currently in the process of negotiating terms of the agreement, and am considering the possibility of signing a digital version of the agreement. I want to know if this is legally permissible, and if there are any potential risks or considerations associated with signing a digital agreement.

The federal ESIGN Act, passed in 2000, gives full force and effect to digital signatures with the same weight as "wet" signatures. However, you should discuss this with an Attorney for your specific agreement if you are concerned. An Attorney can research your specific industry, regulations, and state statutes that may impact digital signatures or have specific requirements around digital signatures that are different from other documents.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
