This guide is the latest in the excellent Association of Personal Injury Lawyers’ (APIL) series of practical guides to help personal injury practitioners, published by Jordans. There are now about 12 books in the series and each is of a similar size, format and price (£75 on average).

The authors of the guide are acknowledged experts on costs and regular speakers at APIL events.
