Legal Costs Training: Our Costs Consultancy Services
Contact us today
At Ivinter, our panel of expert consultants can assist businesses with a range of services, one of which is legal costs training.
Training in legal costs is essential for both legal practitioners, fee earners and support staff to ensure transparency, compliance, and ethical billing practices. It helps in maintaining positive client relationships and avoiding potential legal issues related to fees.
Additionally, staying ahead of changes in regulations and adopting new tools can contribute to efficient legal cost management. This is especially relevant with the introduction of the recent changes to the fixed recoverable costs scheme.
We have costs experts on our panel who have successfully completed the ACL training and possess a costs lawyer qualification, ensuring you will receive the highest standard of training relevant to recent guidelines.
Legal costs training sessions
Our legal costs consultants are highly experienced in cost law and are equipped to offer expert insight to other teams to improve their skills and knowledge.
Legal costs training covers the principles and practices of assessing, claiming, and recovering legal costs in civil litigation. It is an essential skill for any lawyer involved in litigation, as it can significantly impact the financial outcome of a case.
The flexibility of our legal costs consultants means we can offer training on any particular issue our clients require due to our range of knowledge in all areas of legal costs.
Whether you need assistance in costs budgeting, drafting your bill of costs, or advice on how best to serve points of dispute, our team can help.
Our legal costs training can also cover Legal Aid costs regarding how best to successfully recover costs from the Legal Aid Agency (LAA). The LAA has specific rules and guidelines on submitting invoices for work completed, and our Legal Costs Consultants can assist you with this to ensure everything submitted is accurate and correct.
Our legal aid training services can also include training on how to utilise the Client and Costs Management System (CCMS), a secure platform introduced by the LAA to help providers submit applications, manage client information, track case progress and submit bills for payment. The CCMS is a constantly evolving system, and the LAA is committed to making it even more user-friendly and efficient. Our team of Legal Costs Consultants are well acquainted with the system and are able to offer high-quality training on how to use the CCMS to its full potential.
