We’re a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is ‘Expert Hand, Human Touch’ - something you’ll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But, we’re more than just a law firm - we’re a team, working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life’s ups and downs.

Whichever team you join, working here you’ll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment. We’ll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things, and make a real difference to our clients and communities.

The work we do has been recognised in the awards we’ve won. We’re committed to being even better, and our awards help to show we’re on the right track.

We recognise that the office 9-5 isn’t for everyone. That’s why we’ve introduced ‘Flexible by Choice’. Whether it’s working from home, in our offices, or a combination of the both, we trust each other to support our clients, colleagues and communities at the right time, in the right way.

Our Costs structure gives our costs lawyers an unrivalled breadth of experience including areas of law as diverse as personal injury, commercial litigation, family cases and Court of Protection.

Some of the things we’ve being doing recently:

- Merrix v Heart of England Foundation Trust 2017 - when the Bill of Costs submitted for this case was less than the Court-approved Costs Budget, we argued that the Court shouldn’t deviate from an approved Budget without a good reason.

Ideally you’ll have minimum one year experience working either in house or for an external supplier of costs drafting services. Ideally this is a London based however; we’re keen to accommodate what’s best for you, so we are open to discussions about remote working.
