LAA UPDATE: The LAA have announced that their new bulk upload portal will go live in February 2026. Lawsyst team are pleased to share that our systems are ready for the new changes. There is nothing new to learn in Lawsyst but please ensure that you are abreast with the new SaBC portal. Please note that you will no longer be able to create claims on the SaBC portal. You must upload the bulk-upload file each month even if with zero claims. Secondly, the new SaBC portal will allow one bulk-upload per contract each month. Previously providers were able to upload one bulk upload file for multiple contracts. This means that the providers will need to allow more time for the billing purposes. Finally, the LAA will require retrospect bulk-upload files that must include the 'New Fee Code' to be uploaded for the contingency period. We are pleased to share that Lawsyst system supports creation of bulk-upload files in the new format for any previous months.     We are hiring. If you have experience in the legal tech industry, we would love to talk to you. Please send your CV to info@lawsyst.co.uk

CAPA Legal Aid Hourly Rate Calculator

This calculator has been created for solicitors’ practices undertaking Claims Against Public Authorities (CAPA) under the civil legal aid scheme. It offers a practical way for CAPA specialists to identify the correct hourly rate for work undertaken in courts, detention settings, or tribunal proceedings, without the need to manually refer to fee tables.

Rates are calculated automatically by reference to the selected date and can be displayed using either National or London rates. The Lawsyst team maintains this calculator to ensure it reflects current Legal Aid Agency guidance and any applicable rate changes.

Feedback on functionality and suggestions for further enhancements are welcomed.
