“I engaged Tyler at Athene Legal after scoring a significant victory at trial for a client in hotly contested and complex High Court Litigation. Tyler and his team’s work on the bill of costs was efficient and detailed, and his pragmatic and commercially focused advice assisted in the early resolution of the costs issue on sensible terms. I would be happy using Athene Legal again and would recommend them to colleagues and contacts.”

Frequently asked questions

What does a Costs Lawyer do?

Our London-based costs lawyers are legal professionals who specialise in dealing with the legal costs that arise from court proceedings. With in-depth knowledge of procedural rules and costs law, they draft costs documents, advise on strategy, and act in negotiations or assessments to resolve disputes about legal fees.

Why instruct a Costs Lawyer?

Legal costs are increasingly complex and technical. Instructing a specialist costs lawyer ensures that costs are managed strategically and that submissions are accurate and persuasive. Our London costs lawyers offer both legal insight and commercial awareness, ensuring your interests are protected and your costs are handled efficiently.

What is the difference between a Law Costs Draftsman and a Costs Lawyer?

A law costs draftsman is a specialist in preparing legal costs documentation. A costs lawyer, however, is additionally a qualified and regulated legal professional, authorised to conduct costs litigation, provide legal advice and represent clients in court. At our London office, our team includes both highly skilled law costs draftsmen and fully qualified costs lawyers, regulated by the Costs Lawyer Standards Board and members of the Association of Costs Lawyers.
