Deborah has a wealth of experience in all costs matters including complex and high-value personal injury, clinical negligence, professional negligence, commercial disputes, contentious probate, Court of Protection, crime, employment and housing. 

Her costs services include drafting of Costs Budgets and subsequent Case Management work, drafting Bills of Costs for Detailed Assessment, attending Case Management Conferences and Detailed Assessment Hearings and negotiating costs settlements.
