What this walkthrough covers

1
Turn on Firm accounts
Firm accounts are a feature preview. If this card already says Enabled, just click Next. Otherwise click Enable and accept the firm beta terms once — the My Firm entry then appears in your sidebar.
2
Open My Firm
The My Firm entry lives in the sidebar on every dashboard page. Click it to open the firm area.
3
Create your firm
You do not belong to a firm yet, so this page shows a single card. Click "Create or Join a Firm" to open the claim wizard.
4
Confirm your bar registration
The wizard shows the bar association and colegiado number from your profile. Only registered lawyers can own a firm — check both values are right.
5
Continue
Everything correct? Click Continue to move on to the create-or-join choice.
6
Choose "Create a new firm"
You want to become a firm, so pick "Create a new firm". "Join an existing firm" is only for lawyers who received an invite code from an existing firm.
7
Search for the name first
Type your firm name. LeyApp checks the Spanish firm directory and firms already on the platform so you never create a duplicate. Type a name now, then click Next in this guide.
8
No match? Create it
If a matching firm appears and it is yours, click "Claim this firm" next to it. Otherwise click "Create new firm" to continue to the details form.
9
Fill in the details
Only the firm name is required. Description, city, phone, address, website and founding year are optional and editable later.
10
Create the firm
Clicking Continue creates the firm and makes you its owner immediately. This is the only step that writes anything — go ahead when you are ready.
11
You are the owner
Done — the firm exists and you own it. You can already invite colleagues, set branding and choose policies. Click Continue to start verification.
12
The verification tracker
Four items: CIF/NIF document, firm-domain email, bar association letter and the administrator review. Each one turns green as you complete it.
13
Upload your documents
Upload the CIF/NIF, send the domain verification email and attach the bar letter. Review takes up to 48 hours and unlocks the trusted badge, widgets and SSO.
14
That is the whole journey
Your lawyer profile is untouched; you simply own a firm now. Remember: one firm at a time — leave a firm before creating or joining another.
