# Attorney onboarding

After claiming your profile, complete your remaining setup so clients and the marketplace see accurate information about your practice.

## How it works

1. From the [attorney dashboard](https://www.openlaw.com/attorney/dashboard) banner, open Complete onboarding steps (or go to [Onboarding](https://www.openlaw.com/attorney/onboarding)).
2. Fill in profile, practice licenses, languages, and legal practice areas.
3. Add education, work experience, bio, and contact information.
4. Connect your calendar in [Settings → Calendar](https://www.openlaw.com/attorney/dashboard/settings?tab=calendar) so clients can book consultations directly.
5. Finish remaining tasks — the banner disappears once all required steps are done.

## Good to know

- Some steps can be skipped temporarily, but marketplace features work best with a complete profile.
- Staff accounts follow a simplified dashboard without the onboarding banner.
