When an attorney leaves an organization, both the attorney and the organization will retain access to the case until the attorney or the organization takes one of the actions below to transfer ownership.  

The transferring attorney keeps the case: The attorney will receive a new system account in the new organization and should file a “Notice of Change of Address - Attorney” under this new account. This filing will transfer the case to the new organization.

The current organization keeps the case: The organization should file a “Substitution of Counsel”.  This filing will keep the case at the existing organization and update counsel of record.

Neither the transferring attorney nor the existing organization will continue representation: The attorney should file a “Notice of Withdrawal" or "Motion to Withdraw”. This will remove case access from the attorney and the organization.
