About DMD Costs | Legal Costs Drafting for Solicitors (Standard Basis)

DMD Costs is a UK legal costs drafting partner for claimant solicitor firms — standard basis (non-FRC) only. We draft Bills and e-Bills (Precedent S), Points of Dispute and Replies, budgets (Precedent H/R/T), and N260s, and we negotiate costs to settlement so your fee earners stay focused on the claim.

Why Firms Choose Us

We combine practical CPR expertise with fast, assessment-ready drafting to protect your recovery and reduce delay. Every matter receives senior oversight, clear assumptions and a narrative designed to settle — and to stand up at detailed assessment if required.

• B2B only: instructed by solicitor firms (no lay clients, no advocacy)
• Fast, but forensic: clean phase structure, disbursement proofing and tight timetables
• Commercial outcomes: fewer global cuts, faster agreements and improved cash flow
• Where we add most value: Housing Disrepair (HDR) and MoD NIHL (the matrix drives damages — costs remain standard basis)
