Have you ever wondered what actually makes an agreement legally binding? Is a signature enough, or are there other legal requirements that need to be met?

In this episode of the Strata Law Podcast, Despina Veleski of Sachs Gerace Lawyers explains what it takes to properly execute an agreement and why who signs a document can be just as important as the signature itself.

You'll learn about the different ways agreements can be signed, including physical, electronic and counterpart execution, and discover the key factors that determine whether an agreement will be legally enforceable. Despina also discusses how signing requirements differ for individuals, companies and owners corporations, and why authority, process and intention are critical to getting it right.

Whether you're involved in a commercial transaction, dealing with a strata matter, or simply want to better understand the legal effect of signing an agreement, this episode provides practical guidance on avoiding common mistakes and ensuring your agreements stand up when it matters most.
