For Lawyers: Registering Legal Counsel

This article provides an overview of the steps needed to complete the Register Legal Counsel workflow.

Registering Counsel

1. The entrepreneur decides to "Register Legal Counsel" on Shoobx. This is required, as Shoobx will not allow them to access many workflows without registering their lawyer (explained here).
2. The entrepreneur will input your contact information, including your first and last name, your email address, and the name of your law firm.
3. Shoobx will send an email inviting you to collaborate with the company, and will ask you to establish Counsel Involvement Settings.
4. Shoobx will prompt either you or your client to upload your engagement letter into the company's Data Room.
5. You will also be asked to activate your account in Shoobx, and then you can begin collaborating immediately.
