From costs budgeting to detailed assessment proceedings, the assessment of legal costs is a complex process involving specific rules and regulations. Recovering or disputing costs is the final piece of the litigation puzzle, which is vital to get right. While a solicitor will ordinarily conduct litigation, they will need a specialist costs team to handle steps like preparing bills of costs and attending detailed assessment hearings.
