If you are a Firm Administrator, you will be able to see details in relation to the Firm Payment for Practising Certificates.

In this section, an administrator can:

• Review details for solicitors in their firm.
• Generate a pre-filled EFT Payment form detailing the schedule of fees payable.
• Add or remove a solicitor to their firm.

Payment and updates

• To pay for a list of solicitors, use the tick box in the left column to select all (in header) or tick the row for specific solicitors, then click Generate EFT For Selected Solicitors.
• To add a solicitor who is missing from the list, click Update Listing to send us the details including their solicitor number.

Please note that cheques won’t be accepted for the 2026 renewal, so please pay by EFT.

*It is important that the solicitors in your firm are fully aware of the amount payable for their practising certificates i.e., additional contributions and/or membership subscriptions. This is to avoid unnecessary delays in the processing of their applications where fee amounts have to be amended manually by the Law Society.

A Firm Administrator can complete and generate the required EFT Payment Form for one or multiple solicitors with the details the Law Society needs, so we can link your payment correctly.

Only Firm Administrators can see this area. If you are a Firm Administrator but can’t see or access this function, please email PC@LawSociety.ie.

Firm EFT Details – Virtual IBANs

The Law Society has upgraded its EFT payment system by introducing Virtual International Bank Account Numbers [Virtual IBANs] for both individuals and firms. Find more information relating to payments and Virtual IBANs here.

** Please ensure before making payments on behalf of your firm that you have updated your firm’s banking details by changing the Law Society’s former bank account details to your firm’s new Virtual IBAN and BIC details.

You can access the firm’s Virtual IBAN details in the ‘Firm EFT Payment Details’ on your ‘Firm Administration’ tab on your online Dashboard. Please ensure to select the Virtual IBAN for Law Society/Regulation, when paying for practising certificates.

PC Reminder Function

Firm Admins can send a reminder to individual solicitors who have not submitted their PC applications by clicking Remind.

This automatically sends a PC reminder email to the individual.

When paying for a list of solicitors, the Firm Administrator needs to send to the Law Society the generated EFT Payment form by email to PC@LawSociety.ie following the transfer of payment by EFT.

To generate the EFT Payment form you:

• Use the tick box in the left column header to select all if you are generating for a list of solicitors or tick the row for specific 
• Then click Generate EFT For Selected Solicitors (at top or bottom of page).

A prompt will appear on screen noting that your EFT has been downloaded to your device. The completed form looks like this:

When making your payment, it is necessary to use the reference as noted in your Downloaded EFT form. If you have made changes and downloaded your EFT form more than once, please note the latest reference from the EFT being used. It is necessary to add this reference number on the ‘transaction reference’ with your bank. This links the payment to the solicitor’s practising certificates. There is no need to add any additional information ‘REG-6xxxx-s12345’ will suffice, any changes made to this reference number will cause delays in processing your payments.  

Firm Administrators for branch (rather than principal office) firms will only be able to see the branch office solicitors in the Firm Payment for PC section.

To generate an EFT Payment form for an individual solicitor in the branch office, tick the box beside the person’s name or if paying for a list of solicitors, use the tick box in the left column to select all (in header), then click Generate EFT for Selected Solicitors.
