Next steps
There is no action needed for existing 2024 Standard Civil Contract holders. Contract schedules will be updated in due course.
Why is this happening?
The LAA is committed to the provision of Civil Legal Aid and the provision of certainty to the market that encourages wider growth.
This is part of the LAA’s ongoing commitment to do all we can to enable suitably qualified providers to offer legal aid funded services. It offers the ability for existing providers to expand their services as well as encouraging new providers to join.
