Description

Join us for the 2026 Costs Lawyers Conference, a must‑attend event offering practical insight into the latest developments shaping the costs landscape.

The programme features a comprehensive legal round‑up reviewing key cases from the past year, including updates to the CPR, alongside an in‑depth look at Part 36, track allocation and fixed costs, with recent guidance from the Court of Appeal in Laura Attersley v UK Insurance Ltd [2026] EWCA Civ 217. We will also examine the important decision in Duffy v Birmingham City Council [2026] EWCA Civ 146, focusing on effective engagement with the costs assessment process and avoiding common pitfalls, with actionable strategies for both paying and receiving parties. Additional sessions will explore fundamental dishonesty and its costs consequences, as well as the latest updates in solicitor–client costs.

This conference is designed to equip costs professionals with clear, practical tools to navigate current challenges and strengthen their practice.
