There is no point in the LAA inviting firm's to tender when the tender has been open for years.

The only way to get firms to do legal aid work is to pay market rates and relax supervision rules.

Pointless.

Who better to approach then TLC Legals if you require consultants to prepare you to pass Lexcel with flying colours!

Just remember, if we consult for you, we cannot assess you too!
