Costs drafting and negotiation for claimant solicitor firms.
Costs, done right. We draft and negotiate standard-basis (non-FRC) costs for UK claimant firms — bills, e-Bills, Points of Dispute, Replies and negotiation to settlement. Your fee-earners stay on the claim; we maximise recovery and reduce write-offs.
Know the fee
