When litigation affects your business, one of the most concerning aspects is the prospect of your legal fees running out of control. That’s why our dedicated Costs Unit offers you a complete funding, retainer, project management and costs service. We have a proven track record in all manner of costs disputes, regularly dealing with multi-million pound claims and highly complex commercial matters.
As part of a large Litigation team, within a major global law firm, we are used to running substantial litigation and investigation projects in an interdisciplinary manner. Our Costs Unit has the breadth of experience to provide you with much more than just traditional costs-drafting services. From the first meeting we’ll help you navigate all your options around pre-litigation funding, alternate fees, third-party funding and retainers.
Since the introduction of the Jackson reforms, our Costs Unit has developed and refined its approach to costs budgeting, leading to the launch of our bespoke budget management product. This is much more than just a tool to ensure compliance with the procedural requirements of the court. It allows us to provide you with a bespoke budget at the start of the litigation, allowing you to understand the financial commitment the litigation will require at its various stages.
As litigation proceeds we will be with you every step of the way, providing you with regular updates so you can always compare your legal spend against your budget. And once it has concluded, we can advise you on any post-litigation settlements, negotiations and disputes. Our goal will always be to help you form a costs strategy that is commercially suited to the needs of your business.
