Yes. Quotes and instructions are structured for LAA prior authority and certificate funding. We provide CCMS-ready quotes formatted to reduce administrative burden for legal aid caseworkers.
Solicitors typically obtain prior authority before instructing an expert. We provide itemised quotes aligned to LAA codified rates so you can submit them directly through CCMS or your firm's prior authority process.
Complete our Commission a Report form with case background, funding type, tribunal stage, report deadline, and the specific questions for the expert. You may request a quote first if prior authority is still outstanding.
We aim to return LAA-compliant quotes within one working day of receiving a complete instruction or quote request, subject to case complexity, discipline required, and expert availability.
Yes. In addition to legal aid matters, we support privately funded instructions and NGO or charity referrals where expert evidence is required for vulnerable clients.
