Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you may be reading this.

Welcome to the Autumn edition of our newsletter!

As the leaves change and the nights grow longer, we hope this edition of our newsletter finds you in good health and high spirits. In this month’s issue, we have a spotlight on an important topic could affect a number of our clients: Fixed Recoverable Costs.

Fixed Recoverable Costs, also known as FRC, have become a significant focal point in the legal world. They are a mechanism used to streamline legal costs in civil cases, offering clarity and predictability for both solicitors and their clients. This month, we delve into the intricacies of Fixed Recoverable Costs, exploring what they are, how they work, and the implications they have for solicitors and their clients.

In addition to our feature on Fixed Recoverable Costs, we have included some updates on recent legal developments . We remain committed to keeping you informed, educated, and equipped with the knowledge you need.

We hope you find this newsletter informative and engaging. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for future topics, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is here to support you.  Please just ring us on 0014 272 9721 or drop us an email by clicking here.
