Roland Matters

Legal Costs Consultant

Personal Service

I provide legal costing services to New South Wales legal practitioners and their clients in relation to litigious and non-litigious retainers and also to other practitioners and clients litigating in Commonwealth, New South Wales and Queensland jurisdictions. 

I will undertake your work without bothering you with trivial questions commonly asked by those with less experience.  You receive the application of my experience to your work rather than the speculation of staff or contractors without it.

You ask me to provide my services, I disclose, we agree on engagement terms and you receive the completed job. 

Some like to present legal costing as a combination of art, science and magic, an esoteric field of expertise - really it’s simply a service that experience enables me to understand and that I consider a privilege to be asked to provide to practitioners and their clients.

My experience has also taught me my professional limits and what is important to practitioners. Consequently, I provide my services at appropriate prices, never allowing myself to be inflated with self-importance by the “expert” label or by for whom I have previously been engaged.

I will only undertake work in jurisdictions that I understand and would never presume that you need my advice on practice management.  I will certainly never bore you by telling you about my i.t. or anything else about how I perform my work and I don’t think you need to be grateful that my work product will be of “quality”.
