Electronic Bill of Costs

We appreciate that the New Electronic Bill, which came into effect in April 2018, may seem intimidating – not to mention time consuming to complete. That’s why here at Cost Chambers Legal Cost Consultants Limited, we provide a service that does the hard work for you.

We have invested in the key technology and training required in order to ensure our clients receive an unsurpassed level of service when it comes to guiding you through the entire process. We provide:

• • A totally bespoke service tailored to suit your firm’s requirements, accommodating a variety of instructions.
  • The resources to accept instructions electronically, allowing us to offer a nationwide courier service that is free of charge to our clients.
  • Extremely competitive fees and a timely turnaround to suit your specific timeframe.

The Electronic Bill was created to compliment a computerised time recording system that codes items of work. However, we are aware that some clients do not have the resources to invest in the latest time recording software – which is why upon receipt of instructions, we will work through the file and code the work on your behalf before completing the Electronic Bill of Costs.
