Litigation costs management for insurers and self-insurers

We have extensive experience in all areas of costs law and are market leaders in road traffic accident claims, professional negligence, employers liability and public liability litigation.

Our Insurance Litigation team consists of personal injury solicitors and legal experts, some of whom have been recruited from other top 200 and ‘magic circle’ firms as well as in-house costs teams, have years of experience in defending insurers and self-insurers against costs claims brought about by claimants.

The use of mediation, which is becoming increasingly prevalent in the motor claims industry, enables us to obtain exceptional results in high-value cases. Used in conjunction with our strong negotiation skills, we consistently achieve favourable results and provide further savings against potential assessment costs.

We regularly see costs claims reduced to zero by utilising technical points and our average settlement against standard costs cases is considerably better than the industry standard.

In a period of just 12-months, we have saved one of our insurer clients in excess of £2m, with approximately £250k of that sum being saved against fixed costs cases which, without our technical expertise, would otherwise have been unchallenged and paid in full.
