The issue of finding alternatives to the execution of contracts, the documents related to their performance and internal company's documents in a paper form has been raised due to the imposition of restrictive measures and the risks of new COVID-19 outbreaks. Paper documents' exchange is limited or, in certain cases, even impossible due to the quarantine. During the seminar, we considered how to sign the contracts and the internal documents safely in such circumstances and what are the advantages of the proposed alternative.
In particular, we considered:
- Implementation of the electronic document management system in the private sector:
- Advantages and risks of the electronic document management system
- Implementation of the electronic document management system in internal business processes and relations with contractors
- Execution of contracts with foreign contractors
- Legal regulation of the electronic document management system in Ukraine

- Tax authorities' position with respect to the electronic document management system
- Electronic evidence in court hearings
