Generally, you'll need to supply supporting documents to put more weight behind the digital signature as legal evidence. Things such as related email/chat/recording, a full detailed audit trail, multifactor authentications used, and showing the preserved integrity of the signed document. There are other things to consider as well depending on your country's laws on e-signature and electronic documents.
If you want in-depth information regarding the enforceability of e-signature, seeking legal advice from a lawyer is highly recommended.
