The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) is introducing online ways of working for Civil and Family Certificated legal aid. Client and Cost Management System (CCMS) allows providers to apply for Legal Aid and manage certificates. Providers and advocates use the system to submit claims and it also allows users to scan and attach electronic documents associated with their application or claim.

The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) is introducing online ways of working for Civil and Family Certificated legal aid.
Client and Cost Management System (CCMS) allows providers to apply for Legal Aid and manage certificates. Providers and advocates use the system to submit claims and users can also scan and attach electronic documents associated with their application or claim.
The LAA has now invited all Tranche 1 providers to use CCMS and are inviting groups of Tranche 2 providers to start using the system each week. 8,500 cases have already been submitted via CCMS, which increases the likelihood of advocates being assigned to such cases. In addition, 10,435 bills and payments on account have already been submitted.
75% of chambers have returned CCMS surveys and the LAA has set up these chambers on CCMS so they can start using the system as soon as they are instructed on a CCMS case.
If your organisation has not filled out a CCMS survey, or carried out any additional user set-up activity, the LAA recommends that you do so now (see links below).

The LAA has produced new guidance and updated existing guidance in direct response to feedback from CCMS users.
