Welcome to Kain Knight 'Resources' which has been designed to answer some of the most common questions about costs assessment and to outline relevant case law.

For a definition of legal costs and details of how costs are calculated please refer to the introduction pages. We then look at Conditional Fee Agreements and Insurance Premiums and the issue of proportionality, and then at negotiating law costs and the detailed assessment process.

Finally, check out "Rates Watch" - our regular update of UK solicitors’ hourly rates – an invaluable guide when preparing breakdowns for assessment.

Consistent with our policy when giving comment and advice on non-specific issues, Kain Knight Limited cannot assume legal responsibility for the accuracy of any particular statement. In the case of specific problems it is recommended that professional advice be sought from your normal contact.
