Our technical expertise and commercial approach to resolving costs disputes ensures that the optimal amount of costs is recovered in every case, in the shortest possible time.  In situations where settlement is unattainable we will act robustly for you in detailed assessment proceedings where our success rate since the CPR came into force exceeds 98%.  Our success rate on provisional assessment is 100%.

We provide support at every stage of a case, from advice on funding and retainer issues to preparation of costs estimates/budgets and recovery of costs following settlement.  As part of our service we have also guided many of our clients through the funding and costs implications of very significant changes in the law, including the introduction of the CPR and, more recently, the Jackson reforms.
