How it works
- 1After you hire an attorney, they may send an engagement agreement or payment request through OpenLaw.
- 2Check your email or open your client dashboard for a notification about the new request.
- 3Review the contract terms carefully, then sign electronically when you are ready to proceed.
- 4If a retainer or fee is requested, complete payment securely from the same flow.
- 5Track status on your client dashboard — awaiting signature, signed, or payment completed.
Good to know
- Contracts are signed electronically through DocuSeal — no printing required.
- Contact your attorney through Messages if you have questions before signing.
