About Us
Costs Law is a boutique law firm in Melbourne specialising exclusively in the area of legal costs.
Being accredited by the Law Institute of Victoria, we have the expertise needed to handle complex and large-scale costs disputes in the commercial and personal injury practice areas.
Our office provides advice to lawyers in relation to all aspects of legal costing, including:
- preparation of lump sum assessments of costs;
- drawing bills of costs in taxable form for assessment or taxation;
- preparation of notices of objection to itemised bills;
- appearances on taxation of costs and mediations;
- advice in relation to settlement negotiations; and
- provision of expert evidence on costs law matters.
Costs is one of the most heavily regulated aspects of practising law. The laws are not only complex, but are frequently changing. We therefore understand how important it is for you to receive costs support quickly and efficiently. We offer an efficient and comprehensive costs service, leaving your fee earners to concentrate on doing what they do best.
Our services save you time and money whilst maximising legal costs recovery; or, in paying party matters, limiting your client’s exposure. We work in partnership with lawyers to find tailored solutions to their costs law issues at the earliest opportunity and aim to take a commercial approach to the resolution of costs claims.
