What is a Costs Lawyer?

A costs lawyer specialises in the field of legal costs and can offer advice and representation for clients on various costs related matters. Cost Lawyers handle complex matters surrounding legal fees without bias, ensuring that costs are efficiently managed. Our costs lawyers, Birmingham have extensive experience in processing legal costs across a broad range of cases, from personal injury and clinical negligence claims to commercial litigation.

Regulated by the Costs Lawyers Standards Board (CLSB), costs lawyers possess extensive knowledge surrounding the financial side of cases and litigation and are highly regarded within the legal profession. Costs lawyers are also supported with rights of audience, meaning they can appear in court to argue about costs on behalf of their clients.

Costs draftsmen work to maximise costs recovery by drafting bills of costs, preparing costs budgets, and representing clients in detailed assessment hearings. They also assist in the preparation of points of dispute, helping to resolve disagreements between parties on the appropriate level of costs.

In addition to litigation support, costs lawyers often deal with legal aid cases, ensuring that publicly funded clients receive the proper representation.
