The solution to this dilemma, then, is to hire highly qualified costs lawyers to take care of all matters related to costs. Primarily, these experts would be hired to settle costs between solicitor and client. This could mean the straightforward settling of accounts or taking steps to resolve issues wherein clients or lawyers—or both—are dissatisfied with the resulting list of costs. The bill can be assessed by the court if it relates to contentious business or court proceedings. If the legal services which resulted in the questionable costs were rendered for non-contentious issues, however, a remuneration certificate from the Law Society may be requested.
