Receiving an account invite email
To access a project, you must be invited to it by an existing user or by Everlaw support.
If you are a Project Admin who wants to invite users, visit our Add and Remove Users from Projects article.
When someone invites you to a project, regardless of whether you are a new or existing user, you receive an email.
If you are a new user, you receive an email with the subject line: “[Everlaw] You have been granted access…” The email looks like this:
To learn how to create an account see the section Create an account (I’m new to Everlaw).
If you are being invited to create a new account, but you'd like to log in with an existing one, select Join with existing account.
Existing users receive an email with the subject line starting “[Everlaw] You have been added to…” Select Log in to get started. This takes you to Everlaw's login page, if you are not already logged in, or directly to your new project's homepage.
Note
Account invite emails are generated uniquely for your email address. If you forward this email to someone else, they will not be able to use it to create an account.
