“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 teamโ€™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 costs lawyers in Birmingham are specialist lawyers who settle the legal costs arising from a court case. Costs lawyers are the only branch of the legal profession with detailed knowledge and expertise in legal costs. An experienced costs lawyer deals with a wide range of legal costs matters, including costs between the parties, solicitor and client costs, and legal aid or public funding.

Why instruct a Costs Lawyer?

Legal costs is a complex and evolving area of law and litigation in this area is often undertaken by specialist costs lawyers. Utilising their expertise, our costs lawyers in Birmingham draft costs pleadings with a high level of accuracy and provide pragmatic advice on complex costs issues in a digestible form, which is essential to either justifying or opposing legal costs.

For many law firms, instructing a costs lawyer allows the solicitor to focus on case management, leaving the costs lawyer to deal with costs management.

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

Whilst a law costs draftsman is a highly specialist legal professional, a costs lawyer will, in addition, be a qualified and regulated lawyer. Our team consists of both costs lawyers and law costs draftsmen in Birmingham. We are members of the Association of Costs Lawyers, and our costs lawyers are regulated by the Costs Lawyer Standards Board, meaning we are committed to delivering a high quality of service to all clients.
