As a lawyer, a strong understanding of costs law will allow you to maximise your costs recovery and avoid the many pitfalls that often mean you lose out on being paid for work. It is a notoriously complex area of law, and unfortunately, it is all too easy to make errors that mean you cannot recover the amount you want for the many hours of work carried out.

At Costs Lawyer UK, we provide expert, bespoke in-house training to fee earners. We will work with you to identify key areas in which your teams may need guidance and deliver concise, targeted help that will help your firm increase the percentage of costs recovered.

Our training will target the biggest areas of potential error for lawyers, where we see the largest losses in respect of recoverability. We will also provide tips for efficient handling of costs issues and go into detail on issues such as ensuring costs are proportionate and understanding what the court is likely to disallow.

We know that lawyers’ time is precious, and we always ensure that the maximum amount of information is passed on within the minimum amount of time.

With costs law changing rapidly, we regularly provide ongoing training for our law firm clients, keeping everyone updated on the latest rules and regulations and passing on useful information regarding legal developments.
