Moving firm

You need to tell our Receipts and Payments Department by phone or letter if you are already entered on FAMS with a firm but take up employment with another firm.

Within three working days we will write to you at your new firm, enclosing a registration form and mandate, and outline what will happen with current and new applications. We will activate the link to the new firm when you return the signed registration form and mandate. Any links to the former firm will remain open until you tell our Receipts and Payments Department that the links are no longer needed. The link to your former firm will need to remain open until we have received and paid all relevant accounts.

If you are a criminal practitioner, you should note that your move cannot be activated on the Criminal Legal Assistance Register until you have completed and returned this paperwork. It is therefore very important that you tell us as soon as possible about your intended move and its effective date.
