My client, a dynamic legal services provider specializing in housing disrepair matters, is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Costs Draftsman to join their team. This is a unique opportunity for a passionate individual with a strong background in costs law to play a pivotal role in preparing bills, negotiating costs, and ensuring compliance with civil procedure rules.

My client places a high value on a proactive and professional approach, strong client care skills, and the ability to work autonomously while meeting financial and administrative targets. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-motivated individual to contribute to a dynamic legal team, demonstrating analytical skills, effective organization, and a commitment to excellence.
