What Does a Costs Lawyer Do?

A costs lawyer manages all aspects of legal costs from the early stages of a case to its conclusion. This includes preparing budgets, reviewing funding arrangements, drafting bills of costs and advising on disputes between solicitors and clients. They ensure that every element of the claim for costs is properly justified and compliant with procedural requirements.

Costs lawyers also support clients during the negotiation process, identify strengths and weaknesses in the opposing party’s case, and prepare technical documents such as points of dispute and replies. When needed, they assist with representation during the detailed assessment process. Their specialist expertise reduces the risk of errors and increases the likelihood of achieving a fair and reasonable outcome.
