Stewarts' Costs and Funding team focuses on high-value, complex disputes relating to legal costs, litigation funding and legal expenses insurance. They also assist parties to high-value disputes in negotiating and securing favourable terms for alternative funding arrangements, whether with their lawyers, third party litigation funders and/or insurers.
The team brings together deep subject matter expertise of commercial litigators, policyholder disputes specialists and cost lawyers, enabling them to deliver highly effective solutions for their clients.
Even when another firm has represented parties to litigation or litigation funders in drafting the original fee or funding agreements or in the substantive litigation, it can often be advisable or necessary to seek independent advice and representation when disputes or potential conflicts of interest arise.
Stewarts has been a leader in the field of costs and funding for over 25 years. They were early adopters of conditional fee agreements (CFA), after the event (ATE) insurance, third party litigation funding and damages based agreements (DBA). They have also been prominent in campaigning for law reform in relation to cost and funding issues to enhance options for their clients.
They regularly receive complimentary feedback from litigation funders and ATE insurers that our approach to securing the best terms for their clients is the most rigorous they have experienced.
