Background

About Kevin Wonnacott

I am a costs lawyer with over 30-years' experience and I own and run WCL, a consultancy providing a range of dedicated costs lawyer services to dispute resolution lawyers and corporates where the issue of costs needs resolving, usually in advance of or within detailed assessment proceedings. Most of our costs work is high-value and complex, emanating from commercial disputes. I have had the privilege of working on a number of prominent and challenging cases and projects over the years. WCL's core service remains the preparation or oppositon of large bills of costs prepared in detailed assessment proceedings, usually arising from commerical disputes - and the resultant advocacy or negotiated outcomes arising from such costs claims. WCL has long-established, strong connections with the leading sets of specialist barristers' chambers and has worked with or against most of the leading barristers in this field over the years. WCL is resolutely committed to providing a high-calibre, rapid response service to clients at all times. Principal Jurisdictions - England & Wales ADGM, Abu Dhabi DIFC, Dubai.
