Our Services 

We strive to deliver a highly professional range of services to our clients.

• Preparing Bills

 In order for the legal practitioner to be able to present a bill of cost for taxation purposes, both Party and Party bills and Attorney and Client bills are completed to adhere to the requirements of the Rules, whether it be High Court or Lower Court.

We draft Informal bills, aimed more at enabling the legal practitioner to present his client with an accurate yet compact account for work done, but the Informal bill is also very useful for determining Cost for Security or even when settlement negotiations are on going and where legal costs are also an issue.

It is important to note that our fees are in most cases mostly covered by the service we provide. Please contact us to discuss this aspect in more detail. Our fees for drafting bills of costs, are charged at 10.6% of the fees as drafted and relate to the fee component only.

• Attending Taxation

 As the task of attending taxation is reserved for legal practitioners with the Right of Appearance, I can confidently attend taxations in all courts as I am an Advocate of the High Court.

With the laws pertaining to taxation being tremendously complicated, most attorneys prefer to contract experts to assist them and often employ the services of legal cost practitioners to handle the tedious and time consuming task of preparing for and attending taxation.

Although practices differ countrywide in the various divisions, we will gladly assist and attend taxations on behalf of the attorney where possible.

• Opposing Bills

 It is a reality that not all cases are won and in such instances the unsuccessful party will most likely be faced with a legal bill of cost aimed at indemnifying the successful party for costs incurred in litigation.

Of course the unsuccessful party has the right to scrutinise and object to any charge appearing in such a bill of cost. As opposing a bill of cost can be even more complicated in law than presenting a bill of cost, the services we provide in this regard is just as valuable to the unsuccessful party for the attainment of justice.

• Time Frame

 We understand that the turnaround time of your instructions is vital to the success of our future business relationship. We therefore strive to complete the instruction as fast as possible whilst not compromising the quality of the work done. We retain our clients by delivering exceptional quality of work, at an unmatched pace.

• Checking Bills

 Although we pride ourselves in the quality of our work, it remains the client’s responsibility to check a bill of costs before passing it to a third party, including their clients.

• Termination

 Clients may terminate instructions to us in writing at any time. Work completed up to the date of notice of termination will be invoiced for.

• Force Majeure

 If the completion of work is delayed or prevented by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we will use all reasonable endeavors to resume work as soon as possible, but will not be in breach of agreement because of any delay in performance.

• Confidentiality

All information passed to us, are treated as confidential. Unless required by law, we will not knowingly, nor intentionally, disclose any information whatsoever to any third parties unless specifically instructed and authorized by the client to do so.
