Legal exposure on legal budgets and litigation costs accumulates through routine decisions taken without advice. The commercial risk in litigation costs usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the legal and contractual practice discipline in an order their organisation can absorb. The difficulty is not agreeing that legal budgets and litigation costs matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme takes participants through the legal and contractual practice capability end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for litigation costs, not for observers of it. The most reliable predictor of sound legal budgets and litigation costs is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from litigation costs, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this part of legal and contractual practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
