  • Advice on Part 36 offers & settlement proposals.

and have represented our clients throughout all levels of the Courts, from the County Court to the Supreme Court.

Legal Costs

"I have used SPH Costing Services at their Preston office headed by Andrew Armson for about 6 years, mostly on disease or multitrack cases, but also on fast track cases where insurers have been obdurate. SPH argue with academic superiority and excellent tactics.

SPH are pro-active, often making suggestions beyond their instruction when preparing budgets, polite at giving gentle reminders when required, and will give impromptu assistance in relation to day to day queries. I try not to abuse their willingness to assist!

When negotiating, they keep their updates and requests for instructions to key pertinent outstanding issues and provide good summaries of net effects if an offer is accepted, rather than simply forwarding on what an opponent has argued and waiting for unguided instruction, like some lesser costs firms.

They negotiate very well – I note a sense of disappointment from some Defendant solicitors when I tell them which costs firm I will be using!

It is a pleasure doing business with SPH and to work with a costing service where there is still a genuine enthusiasm for costs law, and in getting a good result for their clients." - Ginny Newman - Chartered Legal Executive
