Antony Whittaker, Director (Costs Lawyer)

Profile

I am an experienced Costs Lawyer with a particular interest in civil cases.

Having completed a degree in English at the University of Oxford I subsequently converted to law, studying at BPP Law School and Manchester Metropolitan University. I was awarded a major scholarship by the Middle Temple, was called to the Bar in 2011 and have specialised in costs ever since. I am a qualified Costs Lawyer, regulated by the Costs Lawyer Standards Board.

After a number of years based in the City of London, working with some of the leading solicitors in their fields and acting in a number of interesting and novel cases, I set up Whittakers Legal Costs with the aim of providing a top quality, client-focussed service at good value.
