COSTS BUDGETING

Budgeting is now a vital step in Multi-track litigation and has had a significant impact on the the assessment of costs at the conclusion of a matter.

Let Olive Tree assist you in the budgeting process, working with you to ensure that the budget sets out the future work necessary to litigate the matter and the costs associated with that work.

We assist in the preparation of the Precedent R budget discussion reports and can attend the CCMC.

ADVOCACY

With over 25 years of court experience, and an in-depth knowledge of the Civil Procedure Rules and procedures, we have a formidable reputation and are able to fight your corner.

RETAINERS

Getting the retainer right is one of the most crucial steps in any solicitor-client relationship, especially given it is the most common method of funding personal injury matters. Many have found, to their cost, the ramifications for getting it wrong.

Olive Tree have assisted in drafting and checking retainers, including CFAs, to ensure they are compliant with the statutory regimes and thus enforceable.
