# How to Change the Lead Fee Earner (LFE) on a Matter Maintenance (MM) Request

### **Overview**

Sometimes an **MM (Matter Maintenance) Request** needs its **Lead Fee Earner (LFE)** updated — for example, when the currently assigned LFE has left the firm or the Matter needs to be reassigned. This article explains how to change the LFE directly within the MM Request.

---

### 🔍 **Why This Issue Occurs**

A user may raise a ticket (e.g., the example referenced: Ticket **14908**) when they cannot update the LFE themselves.  
The MM Request requires a specific setting to be enabled before the LFE field becomes editable.

---

### 🛠️ **How to Change the LFE on an MM Request**

Follow these steps:

### **Step 1 — Open the MM Request**

Locate and open the Matter Maintenance Request associated with the Matter where the LFE needs to be changed.

---

### **Step 2 — Enable the LFE Update Checkbox**

In the MM Request, select the **checkbox** highlighted in the original instructions (the checkbox enables LFE modification)<https://whu58480-my.sharepoint.com/personal/lindsay_barthram_actusverto_com/Documents/Microsoft%20Copilot%20Chat%20Files/How%20Do%20We%20Change%20The%20LFE%20On%20A%20MM%20(Matter%20Maintenance)%20Request%20%E2%80%93%20Stickleback%20Technologies.pdf>

This action unlocks the ability to edit the Lead Fee Earner field.

---

### **Step 3 — Update the Lead Fee Earner Field**

1. Scroll down to the **Lead Fee Earner** field.
2. **Deselect** the current user assigned as LFE.
3. Search for and **add the new LFE**.<https://whu58480-my.sharepoint.com/personal/lindsay_barthram_actusverto_com/Documents/Microsoft%20Copilot%20Chat%20Files/How%20Do%20We%20Change%20The%20LFE%20On%20A%20MM%20(Matter%20Maintenance)%20Request%20%E2%80%93%20Stickleback%20Technologies.pdf>

---

### **Step 4 — Save and Submit**

Once the new LFE is added, complete any other required fields and submit/advance the MM Request as per your firm’s workflow.

---

### 📝 **Additional Notes**

- This update must be made **within the MM Request**, not in the Matter itself.
- If you cannot see the checkbox or LFE field, your permissions may be restricted.
- Related articles may help clarify permissions or LFE handling within the Conflicts Resolution or Intake process.
