Guildhall Chambers has an excellent reputation on the Western circuit for its solid track record in handling costs cases. Group head Oliver Moore is ‘concise and robust’, with established strength in assisting with contentious costs matters and costs cases arising from personal injury and clinical negligence claims. Elsewhere in chambers, James Wibberley is acting for the defendant solicitors in solicitor and own client assessment proceedings arising from the defendants’ involvement in the high-profile Xanthopoulos v Rakshina divorce case; the key issue is to what extent can the recipient of a legal services payment order seek an assessment of their solicitor’s costs.
