In order to represent Legal Aid clients, private bar solicitors must apply to be on our panel. Legal Aid Saskatchewan expects all solicitors to be familiar with the policies and conditions of joining our panel. 

The Billing and Payments Handbook 2024 provides the private bar panel with one source of information regarding billing and payments. Please refer to this handbook for all LAS billing and payment policies and procedures.

Submit the completed form by fax to 306.933.6764 or by email to central@legalaid.sk.ca with the subject line “Panel Application.”

After consultation with the Law Society of Saskatchewan, effective January 1, 2021, Legal Aid Saskatchewan has increased the legal aid tariff rate to $92 per hour for matters being billed hourly and a proportionate increase to the fixed rates and agent fees.

This rate is effective on all appointments issued with an effective date January 1, 2021. Please note that the new rate is not retroactive.
