Victoria Fury
Costs draftsperson
Victoria is an in-house costs draftsperson, working alongside the firm’s solicitors. She has a rounded understanding of multiple types of claims from start to finish, both on a day-to-day case management level, as well as on a broader and long-term management level, and is accordingly able to provide a tailored costs service.
She largely deals with costs recovery for the receiving party in high-value personal injury and clinical negligence claims. Victoria also has experience in paying and receiving party costs relating to commercial disputes, contentious property litigation, employment claims, family disputes and housing disrepair.
I enjoy delving into the detail of a claim to fully understand the background and relevant issues when dealing with the costs involved; this ensures that I can achieve the best recovery for clients, whether a receiving or paying party. It is important to me to provide high quality and accurate work and advice, whilst adhering to any deadline.
Her work encompasses all aspects of costs management, including drafting cost budgets, preparation of budget discussion reports and negotiations, monitoring and advising on costs beyond the CCMC, and dealing with budget revisions. Victoria’s work also includes preparation of large and complex N260s, and specifically, she has vast experience of drafting and negotiating substantial bills of costs on settlement to include preparation of points of dispute and reply. She also provides ad-hoc advice on a variety of costs related issues. Victoria began her career in costs in early 2011 and has over 13 years’ experience.
