I would use your current business contact information.
Thanks! I just wasn’t sure since I’m in house. At my last firm, they prepared all my withdrawals for my signature and it just had their business address on it so I didn’t have to think about it.
Maybe this varies by jurisdiction, but shouldn’t your old firm worry about this? Yes you entered your appearance, but the client is your old firm’s.
Associate 1 - Exactly! I actually had a case from my first firm where this kind of happened. I never withdrew because partner was still involved. Partner missed a deadline like 7 months after I left and non-pros was entered. He couldn’t get the non-pros opened. Client sued the firm, partner and me since my name was still on the docket. Plaintiff’s attorney refused to let me out even once we could easily prove I no longer worked at the firm. It eventually settled (like two weeks ago) and the firm’s carrier covered everything but it was still a huge pain in the ass to deal with. So moral of the story is always withdraw your individual appearance.
My old firm handled this. They filed the motion for me to withdraw after I left — I didn’t even need to sign. Also if the case is being transferred to another firm, I would think there would be a forthcoming motion for the entire OG counsel to withdraw.
