Expert Support for Points of Dispute and Replies in Costs Recovery
At Kulachi Solicitors, we provide comprehensive support following the service of Points of Dispute from the paying party. Our team specialises in drafting Replies to maximise your firm’s recovery of costs.
When Counsel Fees are challenged, we liaise directly with Chambers to obtain their comments, ensuring minimal disruption to your fee earners’ daily activities. While our primary goal is to maximise recovery, we always adopt a realistic approach, safeguarding your client’s interests and mitigating additional costs.
Efficient and Comprehensive Challenges
Our expert team swiftly identifies key issues and prepares thorough challenges, including formal Points of Dispute, for costs claims received. This includes:
- General Challenges: Ensuring compliance with Civil Procedure Rules (CPR).
- Technical Arguments: Addressing complex matters such as ATE premiums, proportionality, and indemnity.
Robust Replies to Points of Dispute
When challenges or Points of Dispute are raised, we provide detailed advice on the most cost-effective course of action. Our Replies are:
- Detailed and Precise: Incorporating both experience and in-depth knowledge of the issues.
- Strategically Prepared: Ensuring that costs pleadings laid before the court form a solid foundation for achieving a favourable outcome at detailed or provisional assessment.
Our Replies are concisely written, clearly setting out the nature and grounds of the argument to ensure the best possible representation.
Extensive Experience Across Practice Areas
We have extensive experience in drafting both Points of Dispute (on behalf of paying parties) and Points of Reply (on behalf of receiving parties) across a wide range of practice areas. Our expertise spans:
