Costs Budgeting
Maximise future costs recovery across every phase of your case
Don’t leave anything to chance with an accurate and strategic Precedent H that strengthens your costs position and case.
Essential for all multi-track cases, or where otherwise ordered by the Court, a Costs Budget serves as the foundation for determining the recoverable costs for the receiving party from the outset of litigation.
To make the process seamless, we take care of the entire Costs Budget preparation and negotiation on your behalf. This includes drafting and filing all required court documents, such as Precedent Rs, Composite Summaries, Phase Breakdowns and any additional materials needed.
A robust Costs Budget will help you identify where your time and resources should be focused throughout the case. Where necessary, we can also provide advocacy at Costs and Case Management Conferences (CCMC) and represent you at detailed assessment hearings.
Costs Budgeting support at every step of your case
Our experienced Costs experts understand that Budgeting is a key part of managing legal costs throughout the litigation process.
When preparing a Costs Budget, it’s important to think ahead and consider all key issues in the case. We can help you to submit a complete and accurate Precedent H to include a list of assumptions and schedule of estimated disbursements, so you can forecast and control any costs you expect to incur as the case progresses.
