New Training Event: Costs Awards in Publicly Funded Cases
We are delighted to be working alongside the London Legal Support Trust (LLST) to provide a new (pro bono) training event in central London on 14th September.
Developed specifically for those who deal with publicly funded civil claims, particularly housing matters, the training session will cover everything from the circumstances in how such costs orders may arise and will include:
- How fee-earners can maximise their costs through Inter Partes Costs awards
- The realisation of those costs through the assessment process and
- How to finalise a claim for costs with the Legal Aid Agency in terms of administration
It is a two hour session: registration from 9.30 am with the training commencing at 10 am at Freshfields’ lecture theatre – for further details click here
We aim to ensure that every delegate will leave with the knowledge and confidence to obtain inter partes costs orders and familiarity with the administrative process and a clear understanding of how to recover those costs from the Paying Party
Learn how to make those costs orders work for you !
To book a place (or places) for your organisation e mail bob@llst.org.uk with the name and e-mail address of the attendee.
