In this paper we show how gauge symmetries in an effective theory can be used to simplify proofs of factorization formulas in highly energetic hadronic processes. We use the soft-collinear effective theory, generalized to deal with back-to-back jets of collinear particles. Our proofs do not depend on the choice of a particular gauge, and the formalism is applicable to both exclusive and inclusive factorization. As examples we treat the - form factor (^*^0), light meson form factors (^*MM), as well as deep inelastic scattering (e^-pe^-X), the Drell-Yan process (ppXl^+l^-), and deeply virtual Compton scattering (^*p^ (*) p).
