An accreditation funding deal for immigration and asylum solicitors has been extended until the end of this year.
The deal, introduced last year, saves £782.40 on initial accreditation and £482.40 on renewal. It has been expanded to casework assistants who save £717.60 on accreditation while trainee assistants save £277.20.
Law Society president Richard Atkinson said the deal, arranged between Chancery Lane and the Ministry of Justice, would help address ‘a severe lack of capacity in the sector’, and support immigration and asylum solicitors by saving members hundreds and some firms thousands of pounds.
