If things don’t go to plan in litigation and your client is ordered to pay their opponent’s legal fees, we advise on likely exposure and settlement parameters, prepare all required documentation to dispute the costs claimed and work tirelessly to negotiate a favourable settlement.

If necessary, this includes preparation for provisional and detailed assessments, where we will undertake advocacy on your behalf, ensuring that the matter is dealt with by someone with comprehensive knowledge of your file.

We have a team dedicated to the sometimes complex, and hard-fought procedures which face paying parties, and we use this knowledge to provide informed, accurate and reassuring advice. Our team is experienced in identifying the key issues and will prepare detailed and comprehensive challenges.

Our robust approach to negotiation, backed by the team’s technical knowledge, has seen us achieve significant deductions on costs claimed for clients.
