Our barristers advise on, negotiate, draft and finalise litigation funding agreements together with waterfall arrangements and associated insurance products. We regularly advise on the adequacy of insurance provision where applications for security for costs are in contemplation. We draft retainers of all varieties, including conditional fee agreements (CFAs), ‘CFAs-lite’, and discounted versions of both, as well as damages-based agreements.

We act for litigation funders, insurers, legal professionals, corporates and individuals internationally and domestically. We are regularly instructed on the front line but also advise and draft behind the scenes, as and when necessary.

We appear in courts, tribunals and arbitrations worldwide where the principles of costs and litigation funding are based on the law of England and Wales. We are most active in the British Isles, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. We appear in courts at all levels in each of these regions and jurisdictions. Domestically, instructions include regular appearances in the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the Competition Appeal Tribunal, the High Court and the Senior Courts Costs Office.
