LAA CCMS Outage – Chambers’ Commitment to Supporting Solicitors and Counsel

July 07 2025

We are aware of the ongoing outage affecting the Legal Aid Agency’s Client and Cost Management System (CCMS), and we fully recognise the disruption this is causing for both our instructing solicitors and counsel.

Chambers is committed to working closely with you to ensure that both solicitor and counsel bills can be submitted in a timely and coordinated manner as soon as the system is back online. We understand the pressures this outage has created and are here to support you in managing the backlog and minimising further delays.

If you would like to discuss your current matters or make a plan for billing once CCMS is operational again, please don’t hesitate to contact the Lead Clerks directly. We are ready to assist and collaborate with you throughout this period.
