OUR SERVICES

The Nova Costs team provide an impressive and full complement of legal costs services.

Legal Costs Drafting

An altogether more professional approach

​

We have a wealth of experience in drafting all sizes and types of Bills, Schedules, Budgets and Replies (or Points of Dispute on paying party commercial matters), including for the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

​

Before submitting our work to you, we will always carry out a realistic appraisal and inform you of the settlement figure that we expect to achieve at the end of negotiations.

​

We make the whole process easier too. Once we’ve drafted your Bills, we have systems in place so that you can electronically sign, this not only helps the environment by not having to print off reams of paper, but also saves time too.

​

Legal Costs Negotiation

​

Using our expertise to achieve the right result

​

Our Law Costs Draftsmen receive on-going training on the latest costs law developments and negotiation techniques. 

​

Legal Costs negotiating is always easier if you’re in a position of strength and our expertly drafted Bills, Schedules, Costs Budgets or Replies put us in the best position to successfully negotiate a settlement. 

​

Attending Detailed Assessments

​

We’re prepared to fight for your money

​

We do our utmost to settle during the negotiation stage so that you are in receipt of your costs as quickly as possible but, on occasion, if the other side continue to be unreasonable, we will happily set the matter down for Detailed Assessment, so that we can fight your cause in front of a Judge. 

​

To date, our team have a hugely  impressive record of winning over 99% of Assessments.
