1 - Upon receiving the generated email inviting you to LawVu, open the email and proceed by clicking on the "Accept Invitation" button.

2 - This will direct you to the page where you can set up your password for a first-time login. Note: Passwords should need to be 10 characters or longer, and be fairly complex. The system will indicate if the password is strong enough and would also provide suggestions.

3 - Once you have finished setting up your password, you will be prompted to log in once again using the newly created password. Upon logging in, you will be greeted to set up your company details.

If you already have access to LawVu and already connected with several clients, upon receiving an invitation from a new client to connect, you'll be notified via both email and in-app notifications to accept the invitation.

Once accepted, you can start collaborating with the client depending on the access level they have provided.

Note: There may also be instances where you will receive a request from the client to add a new user. Organization admins will receive an email and in-app notifications to add the new user, allowing you to accept or decline.

Your access within LawVu depends on what the client has shared with you. You may be able to see matters and contracts, or simply upload invoices.
​

When you are given 'Collaboration' access, you will have the privilege to access clients' matters and contracts, as well as the capability to upload invoices.

Once the invitation is accepted, users within your organization can be assigned as the Matter Manager or Delegate manager, as well as be added as members to clients' matters and contracts.

Delegates let you share your workload with certain team members and allow these team members to perform actions for you.

To add your delegates, access your profile by clicking on the top right of the screen and selecting 'My profile'. From there, navigate to the 'Delegates' section on the left-hand menu and add or remove individuals as needed.

Your delegates will get added only to active matters in which you are assigned as the Matter Owner or Matter Manager. They will also receive the same notifications and have the same abilities that you have.

To update your company information, go to Organisation Settings, click Settings and Company information.

Any update made in the company information will be reflected across all clients you are connected to and actively collaborating with.
