Feeling like your Costs role has become more about pressure than quality?
If you’re a Costs Lawyer who takes pride in doing things properly, but don’t always have the time or support to do so, this opportunity offers a refreshing change.
This is a role designed to let you focus on technical, high-quality costs work, with the structure and backing to make it sustainable long-term.
Why this role stands out:
You’ll be part of a well-organised costs team where support isn’t an afterthought.
With dedicated assistance for admin, compliance, and billing processes, you won’t be pulled away from the work that actually adds value. The systems are modern, the workflows are efficient, and the expectations are realistic.
What you’ll be doing:
You’ll handle a diverse and engaging caseload, including:
- Drafting bills of costs across a range of matters
- Preparing costs budgets and advising on strategy
- Negotiating settlements with confidence
- Managing points of dispute and replies
- Supporting clients through the detailed assessment process
You’ll have autonomy over your work, but never feel like you’re on your own.
What’s on offer:
- Salary between £45,000 and £55,000 (dependent on experience)
- Bonus structure that genuinely rewards performance
- Hybrid working with flexibility built in
- Clear, achievable progression opportunities
- Ongoing training and development support
- A collaborative team environment with manageable workloads
What you'll need:
- Experience as a Costs Lawyer or Costs Draftsperson
- Strong understanding of costs procedures and CPR
- Confidence drafting bills and handling negotiations
- High attention to detail and a client-focused approach
Why people are moving into roles like this
Because too many Costs positions still involve:
- Unrealistic billing expectations
- Little to no support structure
- Time lost on admin instead of legal work
- Limited career development
This role offers a more balanced, forward-thinking alternative.
