Regarding Request for Instructions on Whether Article 11 of the Law on Lawyers Can Be Applied Where a Lawyer Cancels the Work Contract with One Law Firm and Concludes Such Contract with Another Law Firm (No.58 [2001] of Shanghai Municipal Judicial Bureau), we make the following official reply upon deliberation:
I. After a lawyers cancels his work contract with a law firm, the registration of practicing law firm of that lawyer shall terminate immediately, and there is no such an issue of "change of law firm". "Change of law firm" refers to that on the premise that a lawyer keeps the work relationship with the original law firm he/she works for and with consent of the original firm and the judicial bureau of that lawyer's domicile, the law firm to which that lawyer is to be transferred shall handle the relevant transfer formalities pursuant to the prescribed procedures.
II. Where a lawyer has cancelled his work contract with a law firm, that lawyer shall follow Articles 8, 9,10, and 11 of the Law on Lawyers if he/she applies for practice anew.
