App4Legal Client Portal allows legal teams to collaborate and communicate with their clients and requesters. Requesters will connect with the legal team to share data and collaborate on matters, cases, and contracts.

• Share Matters/Contracts with Clients:

The Legal team can share corporate matters, litigation cases, and contracts/documents with the requesters from the Client Portal.

To share a contract with your clients via the client portal. Open the contract you wish to send, from the main application.

Then from the contract's page click on the 3 dots on the top right From the matter page, for example, click on the Actions button, and choose "Show Matter in Client Portal"

You can also allow all attachments to be visible in the client portal directly from this window.

Note

To share contracts with Watchers, they must be listed under the same company as the requester. Otherwise, sharing contracts with any client portal user is not feasible. You can manage this via the client portal settings. Click on the provided link in the window, or navigate to Settings -> Client Portal -> Manage Clients. Here, you can edit client information and add the company name for each client. Client portal users who belong to the same company can then view each other's requests if needed. Image Added
