Answer

No, you cannot change employers on L1 visa. L1 is employer-specific:

  • L1 is tied to specific employer and position
  • Changing employers requires new L1 petition
  • New employer must have qualifying relationship with foreign company
  • Must meet all L1 requirements again

Alternative: If eligible, consider H-1B or other visa types that allow employer changes more easily.
