I believe a high calibre legal aid scheme needs experienced lawyers. However, I also know many lawyers find the system frustrating, time consuming and a bit like playing Russian roulette when Legal Aid pays you but later an auditor says you have to repay it because you weren’t entitled to claim it.

The good news is that it is possible to:

  • reduce your stress level

  • improve your cashflow

  • increase your profitability, and

  • free up time for what matters to you

Fixed fee schedules, amendments, invoicing, audits – who would find that interesting?

It is now so interesting, and we hold all this information in a new light thanks to Tracy.

This is a high value service.

We recommend Tracy to all legal aid providers.

Training


Training can be structured in any way that works for you, including when it takes place. However, the common dominator is always an underlying foundation of

  • Eliminating the problems commonly associated with Legal Aid administration

  • Making sure you can put the training into action straightaway

  • Supporting you to identify how you can recoup your investment within 30 days of receiving training

Modules include:

  • Applications

  • Invoicing

  • Amendments

  • Grant Management

  • Audits

The invoicing module has a one stop reference schedule and disbursement resource that are updated for FREE if the information for that particular version changes.

If Legal Aid significantly changes the policy relating to invoicing, such as introducing a replacement fixed fee schedule, reduced cost training will be offered to those who have previously completed the invoicing training, to bring them up-to-date with the changes.

My Promise

If you get push back from following my advice, I will at no additional cost, either

  • Explain why you got the answer you got so you can eliminate repeating it

    OR

  • Complete the application for reconsideration to challenge the decision

Methodology

Training can take place individually or in a group. Pricing is per person, per module.

The training can occur in person in Christchurch or via Zoom (or a similar platform).

If training is wanted to take place outside of Christchurch, travel costs may be charged.

Support

Prefer just to be supported with expert assistance?

If you wish to receive assistance with things such as responding to letters, invoicing, amendments, or recommended approach to funding etc., this can be provided.

Support is provided at $72 + GST per hour with a minimum charge of $72 + GST.

My Aim

That you can identify how to recoup your investment within 30 days, and that it keeps paying off 10 x that year and thereafter year after year after year, either through

  • Direct income

  • Less time spent on admin

  • Reduced stress, and/or

  • Spending time on the things you really want to be doing
