Set up your firm workspace

From an empty workspace to a team that can work: details, invitations, roles and the owner's security.

A new workspace starts with a 14-day trial of everything, with no card needed. This guide takes you from an empty workspace to one your team can use.

  1. Create the workspace

    Sign up and create your workspace. Choose solo if you practise alone (one seat), or firm if you have a team. You can start solo and switch to a firm later.

  2. Add your firm's details

    Open Settings, then the Firm tab. Add your firm's name, logo and details. These appear on the documents and statements you send.

  3. Invite your team

    In the Firm tab, invite advocates and staff by email and give each a role. The number of seats depends on your plan. The owner and admins can invite people.

  4. Choose what each person can open

    For each member, choose which areas they can use: casework, Bahas and reports. You can change this later from the same tab.

  5. Secure the owner account

    Turn on two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app, and keep the backup codes somewhere safe. Do this for the owner account first.

  6. Start working

    Add your first client and your first case. The next guide walks through it.

See it with your own cases.

Every workspace starts with 14 days of everything, and no card.
