Costs Expert

App description:

Harmans is a highly renowned firm of Costs Lawyers and Costs Draftsmen providing a specialist legal costs service tailored to our clients’ needs. With 40 years experience our Costs Lawyers and Costs Draftsman are instructed by some of the country’s leading law firms and have been involved in many high profile cases.

To add even more value to our clients we have designed a bespoke app for them to download which will act not only as a valuable industry resource but also as a tool to help them with their everyday workload.

The key feature of the Harmans app is the bespoke interest calculator which allows users to input various data such as date of order, amount of offer, costs to date and any payments on account to calculate totals inclusive and exclusive of interest. Previously this calculation could only be done using a complex formula (and some well educated guess work!) so we are very confident that this will prove to be an invaluable tool for our clients.

The directory feature on the app means you can find the nearest county court or civil justice centre to your location along with its contact details and a useful map and directions feature. The directory also has a link to the latest court fees.

The interactive book a collection section on the app interfaces with the Harmans office diary and allows the user to quickly and easily book a file collection using the free courier service.

The Ask a Question section means that wherever you are you can ask one of our costs experts a question via the app, invaluable if you are out and about and unable to lay your hands on your usual references. Previously answered questions will also be visible in this section meaning it will provide a bank of information on costs queries.

There are also sections providing contact details and more general information on Harmans.
