At first glance, Google's e-signatures seems to check all the boxes for legally-binding electronic signatures: user consent to conduct business electronically, proper adoption of a signature symbol, and signed documents tamper-proof'd with a cryptographic signature.

(You'd be surprised how many e-signature platforms fail to meet the basic legal and jurisprudence standards for creating electronic signatures that can hold up in court)

I'm glad to see serious competition for 20-year-old dinosaurs like DocuSign, Adobe Sign (ex EchoSign), and Dropbox Sign (ex HelloSign). They've gone undisrupted for far too long.

Disclaimer: IANAL, but working at SignatureAPI.com I've been advised with the top e-signature lawyers in the US.
