  • Strong technical knowledge of costs law and procedure, including costs budgeting, detailed assessment, dispute resolution, and recovery processes, with excellent drafting, negotiation, and advocacy skills.
  • Confident advising fee earners and stakeholders on costs strategy, with strong communication skills and the ability to build effective working relationships across the firm.
  • Experience using costs software and case management systems, with familiarity with Costs Master considered advantageous.
  • Proactive, organised, and self-motivated, with a keen eye for detail and the ability to contribute to the growth and development of a costs function.


Benefits

What’s In It For You?


We’re committed to creating a supportive, collaborative, and high-performing legal team. You’ll be joining colleagues who are not only legally excellent
but also commercially astute and down-to-earth. We value trust, teamwork and excellence, and offer an environment where you can grow and succeed.

  • A collaborative, friendly working environment with regular team connection days
  • Generous annual leave (plus additional days with length of service)
  • Option to buy or sell annual leave

  • Redkite Rewards scheme
  • Pension Scheme
