About the Role
Our Niche Costs and Advocacy team handles high-value and complex costs matters across a wide range of commercial and personal injury litigation. The team regularly attends CCMCs and application hearings, providing support across all aspects of a claim, not solely those limited to costs. We work closely with our legal teams throughout the entire lifecycle of a matter, from initial reserving and cost estimates, through the budgeting process, and through to conclusion, whether that involves recovering or disputing costs.
We are open to appointing either a qualified Costs Lawyer or a more junior candidate. Junior appointments will be suitable for individuals who are currently studying towards qualification as a Costs Lawyer or who are planning to commence the qualification in the near future.
