I interviewed with Firm A months ago and accepted a position to start this upcoming fall. Group leader called me to offer the position back in November 2020. Besides interviewing with partners at the firms, and diligent follow ups notifying them of my interest to get started, no communication has transpired since.It turns out that I accepted a better offer w/ Firm B for personal reasons and won’t be going to Firm A. What is the best way to notify Firm A? Call/email group leader? Call/email HR?

Perhaps you should contact them and see what they might prefer. Email some people and say you wanted to talk and mention some options: phone call, Zoom meeting, coffee meetup, or whatever else. Some people will be more comfortable with one or the other. After you try that approach a few times you might get comfortable with it, or want to change it somehow. But that would break the ice.

Great idea. Thanks!
I've had success with both in-person and Zoom meet ups or just phone calls. I ask people if I could buy them a coffee (if we can meet in person) and ask them a few questions about their careers. Most people are open to it. I've reached out over LinkedIn, or had people introduce me via email. It's been surprisingly effective.

I like the email intro idea!
