# Helier Benn & Co

Helier Benn & Co is a specialist costs practice based in Stamford that provides comprehensive legal costs services far beyond standard drafting. The firm serves solicitors and law firms across the UK, particularly those in personal injury and general practice, offering expert guidance on costs recovery, budget management and dispute resolution.

The practice distinguishes itself through a multi-disciplinary approach combining costs drafting with strategic advice, skilled negotiation, and advocacy across all practice areas. Their expertise spans complex proportionality assessments, Part 36 settlement analysis, detailed costs assessment, and Civil Procedure Rules compliance. What truly sets them apart is their demonstrable impact on clients' bottom lines—testimonials highlight cost recovery increases of approximately 50% following engagement, alongside service that feels like an extension of the client firm itself.

The firm has built strong relationships within the personal injury sector, understanding the particular cashflow pressures facing PI practices. Clients praise their technical excellence as equal to or exceeding larger market competitors, whilst delivering this premium service at competitive pricing. Their proactive, aggressive negotiation stance combined with accessibility and professionalism has earned recommendations within professional networks including the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

Rather than operating as a distant outsourced function, Helier Benn positions itself as a trusted extension to law firms, consistently delivering value through detailed expertise in costs law, particularly post-Jackson reforms where proportionality considerations require sophisticated analysis.
