Andrew Hogan
'Andrew is a measured advocate who you can trust to really understand a case. He is clearly someone who thinks deeply about the industries in which he advises clients, and as a result, his advice is commercially and tactically savvy.'
Kings Chambers houses a significant number of costs experts who handle a wide range of cases, including costs disputes in clinical negligence and serious injury claims. Team head Kevin Latham boasts a national practice with expertise in costs budgeting issues and fixed costs cases. Latham was recently instructed by the defendant in World Wide Minerals Ltd & Anor v The Republic of Kazakhstan, a costs dispute arising from an award made in arbitral proceedings following a bilateral investment treaty made between Canada and the USSR in 1989. Costs and litigation funding specialist Andrew Hogan is a key name at the set, and Craig Ralph has appeared before the High Court and the Court of Appeal. Both Ralph and Erica Bedford are acting for the solicitors in Menzies v Oakwood Solicitors Limited, which concerns whether the payment of a solicitors’ bill through the deduction of money received from the opponent amounts to payment according to the Solicitors Act 1974; permission has been granted to appeal to the Supreme Court. Paul Hughes is another notable figure who is called to the Bar of the Eastern Caribbean and frequently handles high-value costs claims.
