The LAA, which oversees billions in legal funding, employs approximately 1,250 workers and runs the nation’s Public Defender Service. Around 2,000 providers in England and Wales (including non-profits, barristers, and solicitor firms) provide services for civil and criminal legal aid under contracts with the LAA.
