Success Stories

100% Recovery on a solicitors act assessment

100% Recovery on a solicitors act assessment

100% Recovery on a solicitors act assessment

A delighted client.  They faced challenges on multiple fronts, from the validly of retainer to practically every item incurred.


The win was contained in the papers.  We were able to resist the challenges by reviewing our client's papers in great detail and demonstrate the lay client's knowledge of the costs claimed and ultimately the reasonableness of the amounts.

100% Recovery on a solicitors act assessment

100% Recovery on a solicitors act assessment

Legal costs resulting from the collapse of a very high profile Prosecution.  We excelled at the recovery of costs for our Defendant Client and out performed those acting for the Co-Defendants.


We handled the case from claim, to application for re-determination including detailed submissions.  A great deal of hard work went into an outstanding recovery.

high % awards in private prosecutions

We have been at the forefront of recovering costs in private prosecutions, including drafting the application for an Order for Costs from central funds under ss.16 or 17 of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 .


We have several judgments in our name from successful appeals to the SCCO, resulting in extremely high percentage recoveries.





COSTS RECOVERED BY BIG 4 ACCOUNTANTS

COSTS RECOVERED BY BIG 4 ACCOUNTANTS

high % awards in private prosecutions

Our challenge was to recover a high percentage of costs where the rates charged were at the very top of the market and the costs incurred were significant .


The facts of the case assisted, and we were able to persuade the paying party of the exceptional nature of costs incurred and went on to recover high amounts.





MUTLI-PARTY BUDGET

COSTS RECOVERED BY BIG 4 ACCOUNTANTS

huge rEductions to claim

We successfully concluded a negotiated and agreed budget  in a multi-party (14), multi-issue high costs case.


The negotiations including detailed precedent R's and position statements and detailed discussions via WP conference calls.


The  particularly successful approach involved harmonising the assumptions between the parties.  The parties took a common sense approach and were able to reach an agreement on costs that each party was satisfied with.

COSTS RECOVERED BY BIG 4 ACCOUNTANTS

huge rEductions to claim

We have recently achieved huge reductions to two separate claims.


The first was a claim for costs in the sum of £1,263,747.03.  At a preliminary hearing at the Senior Courts Costs Office, the Master agreed with us that there was doubt as to the proper service of notice regarding the substantial additional liabilities in excess of £500,000.00, with the entire amount struck out of the bill and further reductions to come.


The second was a claim for £227,753.23 plus interest and costs.  The matter settled after detailed Points of Dispute and shortly before the Detailed Assessment Hearing for £58,073.60 "all in".
