History

William Blackstone fundamentally changed the way law was studied and practised. We’re doing the same for legal costing. Before the first volume of Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England was published, common law was often considered unruly and incoherent. We know the legal world can be fast-paced, so we pride ourselves on being available when you need us and turning your file around quickly. With offices across several states, we’re one of Australia’s largest costs consulting firms.
