Special Instructions for the Firm Administrator Checkout Form:
Please disregard the “Group Code” field.
Most of the Membership Information will not apply to you.
Focus on the “Group Account Information” section. While your membership is free, adding attorneys to the account will increase your payment by $93.60 per attorney per year.
Please accurately input the number of seats (attorneys) your firm will be responsible for. This will automatically calculate your annual dues payment.
During checkout, you will be prompted to add a credit card. Please note you will not be charged at this time. However, on July 30, 2025, the card on file will be automatically drafted based on the number of attorney seats you select. This should give you flexibility between July 1 and July 29, following the arrival of Dues Notices to ensure your account lists the correct attorneys in your Group Account.
After submitting this information at checkout, the system will generate a Group Code. You must provide this code to all attorneys under your firm’s membership. They will need to enter it on their membership page to activate their membership without being charged a separate dues payment.
*Please Note: It is important that you differentiate between Buncombe Bar Members and Associate Members for your account.
- Buncombe Bar Members are deemed mandatory for dues payments by the North Carolina Bar.
- Associate Bar Members do not owe dues unless they choose to be a Buncombe Bar Member in addition to their Home District.
After completing payment information, you may select the Manage Group option, we recommend using the designated fields to enter the email addresses of each attorney. The Buncombe Bar website will then send them clear instructions on your behalf.
Your Group Code will always be available on your Manage Group page, for future use, as you will need to provide it or send the corresponding link to any new attorneys your firm hires.
