01
Itemised Bill of Costs
Itemised Bill of Costs
An itemised bill of costs is a list of all the work performed and the associated fees. This includes both professional fees and disbursements.
In every Australian state and territory, solicitors can be obliged to provide an “itemised bill” to clients on request or following a court direction.
02
Objections
Have you received a bill of costs?
At Blue Ribbon Legal, we handle disputes over legal costs for lawyers and clients whether the dispute is between practitioner and client, or between opposing parties in court proceedings.
03
Responses
Do you need to respond to objections?
In certain circumstances, a lawyer or party seeking to recover costs will have the opportunity to prepare submissions in response to objections. This is particularly the case in costs assessments which are done ‘on the papers’ without either side attending in person – written responses take the place of oral submissions in rebutting objections and reinforcing your claim for costs.
04
Estimates
Do you need an estimate of legal costs?
At Blue Ribbon Legal, we offer a certified lump sum estimates of legal cost on either a practitioner/client or party/party basis. Our expert legal costing team can help with estimating legal costs for the work you are undertaking.
05
CLE Seminars
Gain a better understanding of legal costs
Legal practitioners need to stay up to date on changes in legislation and caselaw. At Blue Ribbon Legal, we present seminars that focus on significant developments in legal costing.
06
Expert Evidence
Do you need an expert’s opinion on legal costing?
Expert evidence is the opinion of an expert or professional with particular expertise in a specialised field. An expert witness is not an advocate for a party and has a paramount duty to assist the court impartially on matters relevant to their area of expertise.
Providing expert legal counsel across diverse practice areas, the firm is dedicated to achieving results with integrity, strategic insight, and a client-focused approach to every case.
