Graphic of computer and calculator

Due to the April long weekend, Legal Aid BC’s offices will be closed on: 

  • April 3, 2026 (Good Friday) 
  • April 6, 2026 (Easter Monday) 

Please note the following impacts on lawyer billings and payments: 

Payment processing 

Payments scheduled for deposit on Friday, April 3, 2026, will be released on Thursday, April 2, 2026, (one day earlier than scheduled). Please expect payment notifications to be adjusted accordingly. 

Billing 

Billing cut-off dates are not impacted by this adjustment. 

New financial system

LABC will begin implementing a new financial system in April 2026 to increase efficiencies and improve security. The implementation phase of the project is focused on LABC’s internal systems and is not anticipated to have any impacts on the private bar lawyer billings/​processing (i.e., no change to payment schedule, payment notifications or lawyer setups (accounts payable)). 

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at lawyer.support@legalaid.bc.ca
