    • Complete the required fields indicated with a purple bar.
      • Enter or select a Contact from the drop-down list. Click + to the right of this field if the Person or Company is not listed in CARET Legal to add them.
      • Select the Role for this contact within the Matter from the drop-down list. Click + to create a new role.
        When creating new Roles, be sure it does not exist as you will have duplicate roles.

      • Add a Note if you wish.

  3. Click Save.
