I handle instructions for both paying party (defendant) and receiving party (claimant) matters, proficiently managing all aspects of costs litigation from bill drafting to provisional/detailed assessment and negotiations.
I particularly relish advocacy, a skill set honed through numerous appearances before Costs Judges. Notably, I prepared and advocated for the longest hearing spanning three days, resulting in an impressive 87% recovery of costs, surpassing the opponent's best offer of 60%, showing my ability to significantly enhance a firm's profitability.
Client care holds paramount importance for me. I strive to deliver exemplary service by comprehensively understanding my clients' needs and objectives, then achieving them by way of a collaborative approach. Additionally, I offer tailored training sessions for fee-earners in both individual and group settings.
Outside of work, I'm a food enthusiast, balancing this passion with regular gym sessions and long walks. I also enjoy spending quality time with family and friends.
