Press release from yesterday's Criminal Legal Aid Contract Holders' Meeting

[Rock Management Services LTD @RockMSltd]

Thanks to our co-sponsor @dglegalltd and special thanks to @no5chambers for the help in setting this meeting up. Their Chief Executive, Marketing and IT Teams were amazing in turning what could have been a disastrous concept into a fantastic hybrid meeting success!

[Rock Management Services LTD @RockMSltd]

More than 150 Criminal Legal Aid Contract Holders signed up to attend in person & online what was a VERY positive initial meeting today! Full statement to follow.

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

We have now re-jigged the ticketing to create more availability. So, please book on to attend in person - or remotely if you are not able to be there - https://t.co/ATCWDmU6Rm

[Rock Management Services LTD @RockMSltd]

We are very pleased to say that tickets for the Crime Contract Holders’ meeting have sold out within 24 hours! We have now confirmed that it will be possible to connect to the meeting remotely, and so will release further tickets as soon as possible.

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

@AndrewSperling @RockMSltd @DGLegalLtd Well - as I have said, the agenda is for the Contract Holders and not me to decide - but I can certainly see why that would be a valid point for discussion!

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

Following the resolution of the action by the Bar, it seems more than ever that there is merit to finding a way of presenting a united front to the MoJ on behalf of the Solicitors' profession - this event sponsored by @RockMSltd and @DGLegalLtd is a chance to explore this further

[Rock Management Services LTD @RockMSltd]

Rock Management Services and @DGLegalLtd are proud to be sponsoring & organising the first Crime Contract Holders' meeting in Birmingham on the 8th Nov, 2pm. Firm owners sign up here: https://t.co/PhKRYdqoIV

Only 80 seats available, so get yours quick.

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

For any in doubt...this isn't an event for me or @DavidLGilmore to hold court! We've worked to create an opportunity for contract holders to meet. We'll moderate as required - but it's an open forum for discussion. Agenda to follow based on what delegates say they want to discuss

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

Thanks to @RockMSltd for taking a punt on this venture. After 15 months of bloody hard work, we're about to deliver on creating a "firm in a box"; genuinely taking every aspect of non-fee earning away and allowing lawyers to do law. We're Keystone Law for legal aid lawyers!

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

Very exciting - about to go live with first clients under new criminal contract. We're ready to provide full service back office (Finance, IT, Compliance, HR), based around custom built case management system - with no requirement to sign up to multi-year software contracts!

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

If you are a new firm starting a criminal legal aid contract on 1 October - and particularly if you are nervous about case management providers trying to tie you into a three year contract - why not DM me and we will see if we can help?

[David Gilmore @DavidLGilmore]

Come and listen to @AdamMakepeace talk about Tuckers experience of being hacked by cyber criminals this Thursday at our data disasters and how to avoid them webinar. We have a very strong line up including Leics Police. See https://t.co/jepjb9IIPI

OMactualG. And in legal aid land we are still locked in a consultation about getting rates as high as £50! Even the Grade Cs at this firm were being charged at over £700 p/h

Judge finds ‘no justification’ for firm charging £1,100 an hour https://t.co/UXPba5VheR

[Adam Makepeace @AdamMakepeace]

The offer is meagre enough given no increase since 1998 - but when @MoJGovUK says 15%, we would at least expect the courtesy that that is what the offer actually meant... https://t.co/gylJucmPps

Our business energy supplier is Gazprom which is majority owned by the Russian Federation. We will move supplier on Monday. Please business owners move if you currently use Gazprom.
