We specialize and undertake all aspects of costs work.
We appear in every court and tribunal where costs issues arise. We have considerable experience in appellate work, with frequent appearances in Court of Appeal and High Court appeals, as well as the Federal Court.
We conduct all manner of detailed assessments, involving issues arising from high value commercial cases to costs recovery.
We have considerable experience in advisory and drafting work. Our clients, which includes advocates and solicitors, regularly seek our assistance on funding arrangements and in drafting costs documentation, including costs related clients-solicitor retainer contracts under the LPA. We are also regularly retained by clients to prosecute and defend assessment of costs.
Furthermore, with the new changes in the court rules, fixed costs regimes have been introduced with the intention of simplifying the quantification of costs. However, in our experience, the provisions introduced contain several anomalies and difficulties of their own.
We are familiar with all the issues, as well the issues on filing of reviews, interests and other related matters.
