About TMC Legal

A specialist costs firm

We handle bills of costs, budgets, Points of Dispute and Replies, negotiation and costs hearings. Most of our work comes from claimant firms in personal injury, clinical negligence and civil liberties, alongside commercial litigators.

Why solicitors use us

Regulated costs lawyers

Our costs lawyers are regulated by the Costs Lawyer Standards Board.

Our core areas

Inquest costs are a particular focus. We also act on multi-track personal injury, clinical negligence, civil liberties, housing, judicial review and commercial claims.

We know both sides

We draft Points of Dispute as well as bills, so we know where a paying party will push.

One team, start to finish

Drafting, budgeting, negotiation and advocacy all happen in-house. Your file doesn't change hands between firms on the way to a hearing.

Fits your systems

We can work from your case management system or a shared workspace, on single files or in volume.

Straight advice

We tell you what we think a bill is worth, and when an offer is worth taking, even when it's not what you hoped to hear.
