By virtue of the Association of Law Costs Draftsmen Order 2006, the Association of Law Costs Draftsmen became an authorised body pursuant to the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 to grant its members rights to conduct litigation and provide advocacy services in respect of costs litigation. In late 2007 a limited number of Fellows of the Association undertook the necessary training and the first of a new breed of “Costs Lawyers” were created.
Civil & Commercial Costs Lawyers Ltd is one of only a handful of companies in which the Practising Director and a number of senior employees have undertaken this training and are regulated by the Costs Lawyers Standards Board and accordingly, can call themselves Costs Lawyers and provide the additional service benefits and comforts that can only come with the knowledge that one is instructing an authorised individual with rights of audience and a right to conduct litigation.
