# Managing firm members

Invite and remove colleagues, assign roles, and manage permissions.

## Inviting members

Only owners and admins can invite new members. Open My Firm and use the invite section: generate a code (single-use by default), send a direct email invitation, or paste a list of addresses for bulk invites. The invitee enters the code under *Join an existing firm* in the firm wizard, or clicks the link in the email.

Invitees must already have a lawyer account on LeyApp. Codes and invitations expire after 7 days. A lawyer who is already in another firm has to leave it before the code is accepted.

## Roles inside a firm

- Owner — full control: transfers ownership, manages every admin, and can leave the firm only once nobody else is in it. Only one owner per firm.
- Admin — can invite/remove members, edit firm details and policies, but cannot transfer ownership.
- Member — appears in the public firm profile, can set their own availability and handle their own bookings. Cannot change firm-wide settings.

## Changing roles

Owners can promote a member to admin or demote an admin to member from the Members list. Transferring ownership requires the current owner to confirm and re-authenticate.

## Removing a member

Removing a member from the firm does not delete their LeyApp account or bookings. It only disassociates them from the firm profile. Active bookings stay with the lawyer, not with the firm.

## Leaving a firm

Any member can leave from the **Leave firm** card at the bottom of My Firm; active bookings keep running for a 30-day grace period. If you are the owner you can leave only when nobody else is in the firm — the firm page is then unpublished — otherwise transfer ownership first.

## One firm at a time

A lawyer can belong to only one firm on LeyApp. This mirrors the Spanish bar rule that associates each colegiado with a single registered practice. To move firms, leave the current one first.
