• Costs-only documentation (CPR 46.14) where appropriate

Why firms outsource clin neg costs to us

Clinical negligence costs are commonly challenged on expert fees, hourly rates, time, and proportionality. We draft with those points in mind: clear assumptions, clean structure, and DA-ready presentation to reduce delay and avoidable cuts.

What we need to start

• Time records (export) and disbursements list

• Key pleadings/orders and key dates

• Budgets (if any) and expert invoices (where relevant)
