We are experienced in both private and legally aided Court of Protection matters. We strive to remove all of the cost burdens allowing the client to concentrate on the legal aspects whilst achieving maximum costs recovery.
Our service includes advising our clients as to best practice to maximise costs recovery. We present costs seminars to clients, and have presented seminars to the members of the Cornwall Law Society and Solicitors for the Elderly Devon and Cornwall Regional Group. In addition, the Law Society published an article by one of our Costs Lawyers, Mr Bennetts, on the difficult issue of hourly rates.
We are renowned for our attention to detail, our proactive approach to costs and our ability to give early advice and evaluation. Our draftsmen are highly experienced in preparing bills of costs and attending to all aspects of costs in respect of Court of Protection matters. We also provide advice in respect of assessed bills and our service extends to submitting reviews where appropriate challenging assessments and the appeal procedure including attendance at the appeal hearing.
