Yes that’s right the Friday Webinar is back.
2016 Managing Your Contract Series
Advising on the tense relationship between practitioners and the LAA forms a central element of JRS’ work. Individual firms are easily isolated and most often think that it is they who are, perhaps uniquely, at fault. This series of webinars is an attempt to generalize our experience and help firms more confidently deal with the LAA. We also hope to assist firms to manage potential areas of friction out of that interaction.
Audit Management
5th February 2016
We will explore the various audit methods the LAA currently employ, offer some advice on preparation and discuss possible outcomes – including that almost obligatory Contract Notice.
Granting Legal Aid
12th February 2016
The main area for audit failure is with regard to those levels of service, civil Legal Help and criminal Advice and Assistance, which you grant under delegated functions (devolved powers). Here we cover all the steps necessary to do this in compliance with contract, especially with regard to assessing and evidencing means.
Crime Lower Billing
19th February 2016
This session is either a starter for those new to the process or a refresher for those getting a bit rusty. We will cover all the basics to ensure that you get accurate monthly returns to the LAA and hopefully avoid future audit problems.
Civil Controlled Billing
26th February 2016
Like last weeks Criminal session but for civil Legal Helps and CLR. Again the session is either a starter for those new to the process or a refresher for those getting a bit rusty. We will cover all the basics to ensure that you get accurate monthly returns to the LAA and hopefully avoid future audit problems.
For those still collecting CPD points each carreis one of these.
