Pôle Juridique & Sectoriel
Editorial team — Sector-specific legal
Certyneo's Legal team covers the sector specifics of electronic signatures: labor law, real-estate law, accounting ethics, bar association rules, sector laws (Hoguet, ALUR, ELAN, Scrivener…). The team behind our vertical guides.
Editorial biography
The Legal team approaches electronic signatures from a sector angle. For an open-ended employment contract signed electronically, the citations are French Labor Code articles L1221-1 and L3242-1. For a commercial lease, it's the law of 6 July 1989. For an accounting engagement letter, it's article 151 of decree 2012-432. Every use case has its legal anchor.
The team maintains a sector map: HR, real-estate, legal, accounting, banking-insurance, construction, healthcare, associations, recruitment, communications agencies. For every sector, the specific statutes and applicable case law are documented.
Beyond pillar guides, the Legal team also answers operational questions from users: can a rental lease be signed with eIDAS SES? Does a professional SEPA mandate require a qualified signature? The team regularly publishes practical fact sheets answering these questions with legal references.
