Criminal Billing for Beginners
From CrimeLine from Andrew Keogh
Criminal billing is getting ever more complex and fewer solicitors and clerks have a thorough grounding in what is claimable, and what hoops you have to jump through in order to do so and survive a costs audit. As pressure on fees increases so too does the pressure to ensure every penny is maximised.
This course is intended for solicitors and their staff who need a comprehensive introduction to maximising crime billing. As always the course is supplemented by superb reference materials. Your staff will never again be left wondering - is this one fee or 2? or How do I fund the variation of an ASBO?
