Silk joins costs consultancy

Leading commercial costs consultancy Practico has announced that Jeremy Morgan QC has joined as a consultant.

Jeremy is a renowned costs specialist, having brought costs advocacy to the Bar when he was called in 1989 after practising as a solicitor. He went on to form the Bar’s first costs team at 6 Pump Court before moving to 39 Essex Street where he established a leading costs advocacy practice and took Silk in 2003. He retired as a practising barrister in December 2013 and will now work exclusively with Practico as a consultant. 

Andy Ellis, managing director of Practico, comments: “I am delighted that Jeremy Morgan QC is joining Practico as a consultant. Jeremy is the doyen of litigation costs and he has been at the forefront of the industry’s development. I have worked alongside Jeremy in this field for over 20 years and we make a very strong team. The formalisation of that relationship now that Jeremy has retired from the Bar will be of great benefit to Practico, our team of costs lawyers and our clients.” 

Jeremy says: “I am very pleased to be continuing my career as a consultant at Practico and utilising my expertise to grow and develop its team of costs lawyers. The importance of costs has finally achieved recognition in recent years and I look forward to advising Practico strategically as it continues to respond to the needs of its clients.”
