11KBW speaks at Bindmans LLP event on ‘A Legal Aid Practice Survival Kit’

News

Jason Coppel KC, Akhlaq Choudhury KC, Andrew Sharland and Joanne Clement are all speaking at Bindmans LLP ‘A Legal Aid Practice Surivial Kit’ seminar.

The training will address the issues that commonly arise in these areas, calling on expertise from specialists, consultants, counsel and public law solicitors. This will be particularly pertinent to those involved in the current crime duty solicitors tender – it is essential that Legal Aid firms understand their options and act quickly whenever concerns about a procurement arise, given that any challenge must be brought within 30 days of grounds arising and sometimes within a week of a contract award decision to protect firms’ positions until a determination by the Court.  It will cover:

Procurement in the Legal Aid context

  • Procurement – the basics
  • What to do when it goes wrong

Dealing with Regulatory and Disciplinary Matters

  • Engagement with the LAA when concerns are raised
  • Responding to recoupment claims and financial demands from the LAA
  • Handling allegations of contract breach
