Answer
Yes, s69(2C) Solicitors Act 1974 (as amended by the Legal
Services Act 2007) provides that a bill is properly delivered if it
is delivered through an electronic communications network and the
client has indicated his willingness to accept delivery of a bill
in the form and manner used. The bill should be signed either by
the solicitor or on his behalf by an employee authorised by the
solicitor to sign the bill. The bill can be signed with an
electronic signature.
