In 2025, Legal Aid Alberta is focused on improving the lawyer portal to help you manage and invoice certificates more efficiently and make it easier to work with LAA.
While there will be continuing enhancements over the next 6-18 months, we want to make sure we target the most important improvements first – and then we can continue to work on additional refinements.
The first phase of work will focus on three areas:
Enhancing the user experience – redesigning the lawyer portal with a modern, user-friendly interface that is intuitive and mobile-friendly, ensuring that you can perform tasks efficiently on any device
Streamlining the invoicing process – develop and implement a faster and more seamless invoicing process to save you the time and effort required to create, submit and track invoices
Improving the notification system – implement a robust notification mechanism that allows you to customize how you receive timely, actionable updates and reminders for offers, payments and profile requirements
