Just gave the daily mail some advice on the legal costs involved in the Huw Edwards case and also recently gave advice to another national paper on the Begum case.

Nice to be advising national newspapers on legal matters and I didn't even go to Eton lol.

costs draftsman wanted

12/10/2022

Had an assessment today recovery £217 hour for grade A on a case with damages under 1k and costs proportionate despite being over 5 times more than damages. How do I do it simple it's called experience and being one of the best Legal Costs Advocates in the UK. I back that with my firm winning legal costs firm of the year for the last 2 years. Forgot to mention beat our own offer so 10 percent uplift.

Get in touch if you want these kind of results.

Finally I still only charge D rates being £126 hour despite my 20 years plus experience. Many firms charge more.

Send me a message.

Just took a call from a national newspaper to give my professional advice on the legal costs incurred on the case of Begum v Secretary of State for the Home Department.

They wanted a leading expert so they can report in the paper what it's costing the taxpayer.
