Harmans acquire costs-drafting business & appoint Jim Lines as partner
Harmans Costs are pleased to announce the acquisition of Lauben Legal Services and appointment of Jim Lines as partner.
Chesham-based Lauben Legal Services is a costs drafting business set up in 1994 by costs lawyer Jim Lines. Lauben deal with all areas of civil costs—clinical negligence, personal injury, dispute resolution, Court of Protection and publicly funded costs, particularly children and family matters and including high costs case plans. Lauben provides a full costs service to its clients.
Matthew Harman, partner, says: “We are delighted to complete the Lauben deal and are looking forward to working alongside Jim and his consultants. Harmans are very much focused on strengthening our already significant costs experience this year and the acquisition of Lauben, as well as the recent addition of costs lawyer Mark Brown to the Chelmsford office, will certainly help us achieve our targets in 2014.”
