Costs Recovery News

The advertising opportunity you’ve been waiting for….

1. What is Costs Recovery News?

Costs Recovery News is a free quarterly publication which has been running since July 2005. The main purpose of Cost Recovery News is to inform solicitors’ firms of the latest legislation and judicial decisions which have an impact on their ability to recover their costs.

2. Why should you advertise in Costs Recovery News?

It’s unique
At present, there is no medium other than Costs Recovery News for providing this specialist information to lawyers. There are many in house publications, periodicals and other publications sent to clients of costs draftsmen, but no other publication is specifically targeted to this complex area of expertise. The Association of Law Costs Draftsmen (ALCD), the overseeing body whose members specialise in this field, keeps its members up-to-date on the latest costs related issues, but does not have a vehicle for communicating this information to solicitors - the very people most likely to benefit from receiving it! Many specialist publications contain information of only passing interest to its readers, whereas Costs Recovery News deals with issues which are of great importance to its targeted readership and as such is read thoroughly from start to finish.

It’s concise, relevant and reader friendly
Costs Recovery News is colourful, well laid out and provides all of the latest vital legal costs information in a ‘bite sized’ format, cutting through the swathes of tedious legislation and excessive detail of recent cases. Instead it informs lawyers of only those issues which will directly impact their ability to recover costs and therefore maximize their profits.

It has great potential
Costs Recovery News started out as a double-sided A4 flyer, intended mainly for our existing client database and a few potential clients in the East Midlands. However, the level of interest and the amount of positive feedback it generated meant that it is now produced in a six page format and keeps on growing!

It reaches the decision makers
Costs Recovery News is distributed to over 8,000 partners, i.e., the decision makers. Our database targets firms specializing in personal injury, civil litigation and family law throughout UK and specifically the Midlands, Yorkshire, the North West, London and the Home Counties.

It has shelf life
Costs Recovery News feedback shows that readers file copies and refer back to them regularly and therefore are presented with adverts again and again - your organistion will become part of their subconscious knowledge.

It’s affordable
Costs Recovery News offers an economic channel to key decision makers through targeted database selection. Advertising rates are a fraction of more general legal publications, as this is an information service augmenting our core business, not a stand-alone profit centre.

We’ll support you in your efforts to sell your products and services
