# Dickinson & Rabbitte Ltd

Dickinson & Rabbitte is a specialist costs law firm based in Nottingham, established in 1994. They provide expert legal costs services to solicitors, barristers, in-house legal teams and other professionals involved in litigation and legal proceedings.

The firm specialises in "between the parties" costs (recoverable costs awarded by courts) and legal aid costs, two highly technical and regulated areas of legal practice requiring specialist knowledge and experience. Their clients are predominantly legal practitioners who need expert guidance on costs matters, whether for contentious disputes, cost assessments, or compliance with complex regulations.

What distinguishes Dickinson & Rabbitte is their practical, accessible approach. They offer free telephone advice on cost issues, enabling clients to get immediate guidance without initial commitment. Their experienced team delivers services flexibly, accommodating different working preferences—they can work remotely on paperless files or embed within clients' offices as needed. This adaptability appeals to firms of all sizes, from solo practitioners to larger legal departments.

The firm's reputation is built on personal recommendation rather than aggressive marketing, suggesting strong client relationships and consistent quality delivery. Their regulated status with the Costs Lawyer Standards Board provides clients with assurance of professional standards and complaint handling.

Dickinson & Rabbitte essentially demystifies complex costs law, making specialist expertise accessible and affordable to the legal community. Their combination of deep technical knowledge, responsive service, and flexible working arrangements makes them a trusted partner for managing the financial aspects of legal cases.
