20.4.1 All obligations set forth in Solo Specialist T&C Article 21.3 apply equivalently to the Company Specialist (Bar rule compliance, privilege maintenance, conflict checking, withdrawal cooperation, Case File Delivery, retainer refund, etc.).

20.5.1 Provisions parallel to Solo Specialist T&C Article 21.4 apply, with the additional consideration that:
(a) Where the Company Specialist departs the Affiliated Company without terminating their individual Platform account, post-departure Cabinet handling per Cabinet Rulebook §7.6 governs;

20.6.1 Cabinet-related liability allocation is governed by Cabinet Rulebook Article 26.
20.6.2 The Company Specialist shall indemnify and hold harmless the Platform per the same terms as Solo Specialist T&C Article 21.5.2.

20.6.2 The 15-day grace period exists because the departing Company Specialist has no individual Card on File and requires manual activation to enroll in any individual tier.
