Anthony James Joins To Strengthen Legal Aid Costs Team
We are proud to welcome Anthony James to the Goodwin Malatesta team. Anthony brings many years of legal costs experience including 20 years at the Legal Aid Board and he will be focusing on the lodging of claims within CCMS, the preparation of bills of costs, points of dispute and High Costs case claims, as well as applying his unrivalled Legal Aid knowledge to enhance the services we provide our clients.
Over the last few years the availability of Legal Aid to the public has been greatly reduced and that has led to a similar reduction in the number of experienced costs draftsman to assist with the preparation of Legal Aid claims for costs. Legal Aid remains a vital cornerstone of the legal system and as our mission is to provide an excellent and cost effective service on all areas of legal costs, Anthony will ensure we continue to meet that objective in respect of Legal Aid costs.
Over the coming months Anthony and the Partners will be introducing our existing clients and potential clients to the comprehensive and cost effective Legal Aid costs service we provide. However, if you would like to use our Legal Aid costs services now, please feel free contact Anthony or one of the Partners.
