What We Do Best
Our dedicated and experienced law costing team provide a wide array of legal costs services to fee earners and solicitors. Find out more by following the links below.
Bills of Costs
A well-prepared bill of costs should accurately explain the work undertaken and provide a defensible basis for recovery. Our costs draftsmen prepare bills covering fee earner time, disbursements and the relevant stages of litigation.
We review the supporting records, identify issues that may affect recovery and help present the claim clearly. Our service can continue through Points of Reply, negotiations and detailed assessment where agreement cannot be reached.
Costs Budgets & Management
Costs budgets need to reflect the proposed directions, anticipated evidence and resources required to conduct the case. Underestimating future work can create difficulties later, while unrealistic assumptions may undermine negotiations.
We prepare Precedent H budgets, assist with Precedent R budget discussion reports and advise on revisions where developments warrant them. Our costs lawyers can also provide representation at costs and case management conferences.
Points of Dispute
If you have received a claim for costs, we can examine whether the hours, rates and items claimed are properly recoverable.
We prepare points of dispute supported by the circumstances of the case, rather than relying on general objections. We also advise on settlement offers, the likely costs of continuing the dispute and whether further proceedings are proportionate.
Detailed assessment and advocacy
Where negotiations do not resolve the issues, our costs lawyers can assist with detailed assessment proceedings and representation within their authorised scope of practice.
Preparation includes reviewing the disputed items, supporting evidence and relevant authorities. We explain the strengths and weaknesses of your position so you can decide whether to settle or proceed.
Legal aid and specialist litigation costs
We support legal professionals with legal aid billing and costs claims, alongside work involving personal injury, clinical negligence, commercial litigation, housing disrepair and Court of Protection matters.
The appropriate approach depends on the funding arrangements, proceedings and applicable rules. We establish those requirements before preparing the relevant documents.
