Platform Overview

About Legal Aid Expert Witness — UK Immigration & Asylum Expert Evidence

An independent matching network supplying compliant expert evidence to UK solicitors, barristers, and counsel operating within Legal Aid Agency codified hourly rates.

Law books and legal reference materials in a professional library setting

Legal Aid Expert Witness addresses a critical pain point for time-poor legal aid solicitors: sourcing reliable, court-qualified experts who strictly accept Legal Aid Agency codified hourly rates and providing rapid, CCMS-ready quotes for prior authority applications.

The platform serves solicitors, barristers, and NGOs operating within the UK jurisdiction — including First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), Upper Tribunal (IAC), High Court (Judicial Review), and Home Office pre-decision proceedings.
