We pride ourselves on providing a fast efficient service. Typically we would envisage being in a position to provide opinions on costs/written advices on average within 7 days. The timeline for the preparation of a Bill of Costs is dependent on a number of factors. In our view it is wholly unrealistic for any Legal Costs Accountant to give a guaranteed turnaround time for every Bill of Costs as the time that it takes to prepare a Bill of Costs is dependent upon the nature of the case and principally the amount of documentation contained in the practitioner’s file which in all cases is fully read and considered by the Legal Costs Accountants in Behan & Associates. What we can say with certainty is that work will commence on the preparation of the Bill of Costs within a period of circa 28 days of receipt of the file.

All correspondence received is typically answered within 24 hours of receipt.

As Legal Costs Accountants we essentially act as agents of the legal practitioner in respect of the Taxation/adjudication of the party’s Costs. In addition, therefore, to the preparation of the itemised Bill of Costs drawn in accordance with the provisions of the Superior Court rules we would issue all salient Court documentation including the Summons to Tax, we will arrange service of the Summons and Bill of Costs, following on the Taxation/adjudication we will deal with all certification requirements leading to a situation where you will ultimately receive a Certificate of Taxation which will certify the amount of Costs as assessed by the Legal Costs Adjudicators/County Registrar.
