Covering the rules, statutes, case law etc but also providing guidance as to terms of retainers as well as the process of assessing charges.This area of law is complex and is still not well known by many solicitors or even non-specialist judges. Also, following LASPO and probable fixed costs extensions, clients are now far more likely to have to pay their own costs and challenges to solicitor's fees are increasingly common. This book is written in a clear manner so that anyone from clients and trainees to partners and judges can benefit from it.
