“Paul is a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the complexities of costs assessments is second to none, he is always quick to respond to any questions or matters arising and his clear advice and judgment have always made costs issues smooth and straightforward.

His assistance with costs recovery in a Supreme Court matter was decisive and clear, ensuring clarity and a good and swift settlement.”

“I was recommended to Paul via another Costs Lawyer who I had previously used. I am so glad he did. I have found Paul easy to work with, very efficient and knowledgeable of the Court’s likely outcome. I will definitely use Paul in the future!”

“Paul Seddon’s expertise in costs and costs-drafting issues is superb. He has extensive knowledge not only of the usual costs issues but also of highly complex issues which have arisen recently. Having a thorough knowledge of the Legal Aid scheme, statute and case law, he deals with our Legal Aid bills as well as our inter-partes costs and is just as competent with them. Paul also manages to be familiar with our areas of law which is impressive and helpful. He is always happy to discuss matters over the phone and has a good a turn-around. ”

“Paul’s knowledge of billing and legal costs is unsurpassed. He prepares bills with clear knowledge of procedure and law. He is excellent in negotiations and has proved himself an experienced, focused and effective advocate at detailed assessments, able to match strong, determined and relentless opposition to our claims. He always ensures a successful outcome.

It is great to have such an able professional and dedicated advocate on our side.”

“Paul regularly raises complex costs points with the Legal Aid Agency as well as with other bodies and we are always amazed at his encyclopaedic knowledge of costs.”

“Paul has both authored and delivered training materials for ACLT and has been a pleasure to work with. He is professional, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. He has received excellent feedback from students and should be commended for his ability to explain complex regulations to groups of students with varied knowledge and backgrounds. I very much look forward to working again with Paul in the not too distant future.”

“Paul is a highly experienced and knowledgeable Costs Lawyer, and has dealt with complex and substantial bills for us, including a very substantial inter-partes bill, with care and precision, understanding the issues in the case. He has also been extremely helpful in providing in-house training to our staff.”

“Paul’s detailed knowledge of the CPR and case law on costs has been invaluable. His advice was crucial in settling a matter where the opponent had previously refused to concede that VAT was payable, due to the complex immigration status of our client.

He is a tough negotiator and obtains high percentage recoveries on my cases.

His detailed knowledge of substantive housing law enables him to grasp the (regularly complex) legal issues of the substantive proceedings on which costs are sought.”
