Business Contracts

Independent Contractor Agreement

Texas

Asked on Nov 13, 2023

Are electronic signatures valid on contractor agreements?

I am an independent contractor and I was recently asked to sign an agreement using an electronic signature. I am concerned about the validity of this agreement and want to make sure that I am protected under the law if I sign it. I am looking for advice from a lawyer to understand if electronic signatures are legally valid on independent contractor agreements.

YES. How is that for a simple answer? Sadly - simple answers are rare with most lawyers. Not me. Check out my website where I offer fixed fee services on 1099 Contractor Agreement review or templates. www.fixedfeelawfirm.com.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

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.
