LAA Compliance
Every Expert. Every Report. LAA Rates.
Every expert in our network operates within Legal Aid Agency codified rates. Quotes are structured for CCMS prior authority without excessive fee disputes.
LAA Rate Commitment
Legal aid solicitors should not have to choose between expert quality and funding compliance. Our network is structured around LAA codified rates from the outset.
Every expert provided through Legal Aid Expert Witness agrees to operate strictly within current Legal Aid Agency codified rates for expert witnesses. Quotes are formatted specifically for copy-paste into CCMS and LAA prior authority portals — eliminating the formatting friction that delays casework.

Exceptional Case Funding (ECF)
Guidance for cases requiring funding beyond standard legal aid limits.
Where a case requires expert hours exceeding standard LAA authorisation, we can assist with Exceptional Case Funding (ECF) applications. Our quotes include detailed hour breakdowns and justification narratives formatted for ECF submissions.
For requests to exceed standard hours within existing prior authority, contact us with your matter reference and we will provide a supplementary quote aligned to LAA requirements.
