Adding Legal Counsels (Legal Assistants only)

Top  Previous  Next

As a legal assistant, you manage in your profile the list of legal counsels you work for. The Legal Counsels tab in My Profile page is designed to help you to add or remove legal counsels and consult their general information.

When you add a legal counsel in you profile, the lawyer/notary is informed via e-mail that you have requested to share his files. He can then in his profile grant you the appropriate rights to share files, accept files, refuse files, etc, in his name. You can then see the list of his files under his name in your list of files in the main page.
