The John M Hayes Partnership was established in 1985, when our Amersham office began trading and gained limited company status in June 2010. We currently have 11 offices throughout England and Wales. John's very first recruit was Jeff Paget who is now our Chief Executive Officer.
The high standards of law costs draftsmen demanded by John and Jeff have been reflected in the appointment and retention of our many excellent law costs draftsmen, costs lawyers and support staff, currently numbering in excess of 100. Since inception our law costs drafting firm has grown steadily and, for many years now, has been the largest firm of law costs draftsmen and costs lawyers in the country, dealing with all aspects of legal costs throughout England and Wales.
A key to our success has been the strategic positioning of our office locations and their proximity to major business communities and combined court centres.
As experienced law costs draftsmen we provide a national professional costing service for solicitors both in private practice and the corporate and public sectors.
Our legal costing team is committed to returning your files within ten working days, or sooner if you require an urgent response.
At some point in your career as a solicitor or other legal professional you will need a law costs draftsman and/or costs lawyer, not just to draft a formal bill of costs, but perhaps to prepare points of dispute or replies. You might want your costs lawyer to act as advocate at an assessment of your, or your opponent's, bill of costs at any court in the country. Maybe you want advice generally as to how the latest case law affects your position.
