McCarthys Costs is a select team of highly experienced legal costs consultants with a wealth of experience. We specialise in actions against the state, predominantly Police & Prison Law, Public Law, Immigration and Judicial Review, as well as Family, Housing and all areas of general civil litigation.
Our three lead consultants have 34, 36 and 39 years’ experience respectively. They have worked for some of the most respected solicitors in the UK, from small firms through to Magic Circle firms, dealing with all aspects of costs from routine civil litigation through to complex and novel cases at Supreme Court and European Court level and high profile multi-million pound commercial cases.
Notable cases include the Hillsborough Victims’ Misfeasance Litigation, in which Simon McCarthy was instructed by the Lead Solicitors for the Claimants (Saunders Law) and the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry, in which Darren Hills was instructed. More recent cases include a Brexit related claim against The Electoral Commission and a number of cases for The Good Law Project, including a high profile claim against the Minister for the Cabinet Office concerning the award of government contracts in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
