Specialists In Legal Costs, Based In Monmouth – Expert Costs Lawyers.

A Costs Lawyer or Costs Draftsman specialises in preparing, managing, and negotiating the legal costs of a case. This includes drafting detailed bills of costs, advising on cost budgets, and handling disputes to ensure that solicitors recover the maximum amount they are entitled to.

Legal costs are a highly technical area of law, with strict rules and deadlines. By outsourcing costs work to TRS Legal Costs, solicitors save time, reduce the risk of errors, and improve recovery rates — freeing them up to focus on progressing their clients’ cases.

We work across all areas of civil litigation, including personal injury, clinical negligence, family law, housing, probate, immigration, and high-value commercial disputes. We also handle Legal Aid matters, high-cost case plans (HCCPs), and complex publicly funded cases.

Absolutely. We prepare accurate cost estimates, budgets (Precedent H), and provide ongoing cost analysis throughout a case. This helps solicitors comply with court requirements while protecting profitability.

No. While our head office is in Monmouth, we provide services to solicitor firms across the whole of the UK, including London and nationwide practices. We work seamlessly with both regional firms and major legal aid providers.

We are an independent, specialist practice with over 25 years of experience. Our clients value our accuracy, personal service, and consistently high recovery rates. We’re big enough to handle complex cases but small enough to offer a personalised, responsive approach.
