Costs Litigation - All Circuits
What the Team is Known For
Kings Chambers' members are regulars in the appeal courts and its barristers have particular expertise in class action hearings, non-party cost orders, retainer drafting and solicitor/own client disputes, as well as a host of other costs-related areas. They also have significant experience of acting as mediators in complex cost mediations. Recent work carried out by barristers at the set includes Holcroft v Thorneycroft Solicitors Ltd, which concerns the circumstances in which a solicitor may reach a binding agreement with their client for the payment of costs. An interviewee commented: "Everyone we instruct there has a broad base of knowledge and is comfortable dealing with costs issues from Solicitors Act matters to complex high-value commercial cases." Another source stated: "The costs circuit is small, but a good number of the practitioners who excel appear to have found a home at Kings Chambers."
Harry Young is the senior clerk.
