I’m pretty sure I did. It’s been a few years so the timing is fuzzy and it was close to the end of the program. But it was not at all a problem, lcld just updated my contact info. But at that point there weren’t expenses either firm had to cover - I might suggest negotiating any additional travel costs as part of the deal with your new firm since it would be to their benefit to have you finish the program since it’s paid for by the old firm.
