What is the CCMS?

CCMS refers to the Client and Cost Management System, which is a digital case management system, set up by the Legal Aid Agency. It is specifically associated with legal aid cases and is used by legal professionals to manage their clients, document case details, and handle cost management related to legal aid work.

The Client and Cost Management System (CCMS) was introduced to streamline and digitise the process of applying for legal aid and managing the associated costs. It allows legal professionals to submit applications for legal aid online, manage case details, and submit claims for costs in all types of legal aid cases, including family and criminal legal aid cases.

The CCMS stands as a vital tool for both legal aid providers and the Legal Aid Agency (LAA), ensuring the efficient and effective provision of legal aid.

Using the CCMS brings forth numerous advantages, including:

• Enhanced efficiency: Providers can streamline their case management processes, leading to time savings through use of the CCMS.
• Reduced errors: As a secure system, the CCMS aids in minimising errors in case management and cost submissions.
• Increased transparency: The CCMS offers a clear overview of caseloads and costs, contributing to improved transparency.
• Improved data: The CCMS generates valuable data that can be used to enhance the delivery of legal aid services.

As a dynamic system, the CCMS undergoes constant evolution, with the LAA dedicated to enhancing its user-friendliness and efficiency. Our team of seasoned Costs Draftsmen and Legal Aid Costs Lawyers are well versed in the system, providing high-quality training on maximising the potential of the CCMS.
