Each lawyer or other legal professional in a law firm has their own LawTap account. These individual accounts are managed within a single LawTap Lawyer account registered to the law firm. Typically, the practice manager creates the main account and then invites each lawyer to sign up for LawTap.
In this article, we provide instructions on how to accept a LawTap invitation and sign up for a LawTap account as a lawyer.
All individual legal professionals have a dedicated area in LawTap —My Dashboard—in which they can manage their lawyer profile and appointments. Each professional signs in to LawTap with their own credentials (email address and password), which they set during the sign-up process (instructions below).
For an overview of LawTap Lawyer accounts and instructions on how to create one on behalf of your law firm see Signing up for a LawTap Lawyer account as a practice manager and Inviting lawyers to LawTap on behalf of your law firm as a practice manager.
