Costs Budgets
Precedent H Costs Budgets are now required to be filed and served in the majority of multi-track claims.
We have an experienced costs budgeting team, headed up by Mr Scott Floyd who has a sound knowledge of legal costs and over 20 years’ experience as a civil litigation Solicitor working for large Claimant and Defendant firms.
With Forest Costing Service Ltd, clients requiring assistance with costs budgets experience a fast turnaround, accurate calculations and the assurance of knowing that their budget has been prepared by a team with a substantial knowledge of both legal costs and civil litigation.
With increasing pressures on firms of Solicitors in terms of day-to-day conduct of files, it will assure you to know that we can prepare accurate and comprehensive costs budgets with as little inconvenience to you as possible. We have successfully prepared hundreds of budgets for firms of Solicitors since the introduction of the costs reforms in April 2013, including several budgets which have exceeded £1m.
In addition to preparing a costs budget for you we can review your opponent’s costs budget and formulate objections with a view to reducing your client’s potential costs exposure. We can arrange for one of our very experienced advocates to represent your client at Costs and Case Management Hearings for an affordable cost.
