What is the Difference Between a Costs Lawyer and a Costs Draftsman?

Both Costs Lawyers and Draftsmen are highly regarded legal professionals. Qualified Costs Lawyers differ from Costs Draftsmen as they are regulated by the Costs Lawyers Standards Board (CLSB). Most Costs Lawyers are also a member of the Association of Costs Lawyers (ACL).

Costs Lawyers are required to complete a substantial modular training course and follow the Costs Lawyer Code of Conduct, being required to keep up to date in the area of costs law through continued professional development. This ensures Costs Lawyers remain competent in all aspects of legal costs. All Costs Lawyers in England and Wales are also required to carry Professional Indemnity Insurance.

Costs Lawyers are regulated, like a Solicitor or member of CILEX. Under the Legal Services Act 2007, a Costs Lawyer practising certificate enables a Costs lawyer to exercise rights of audience in Court, and they are also able to conduct litigation and administer oaths in relation to costs proceedings.  As such if required, a Costs Lawyer is able to be on Court record to conduct costs proceedings on behalf of a Solicitor or Litigant in Person.
