New senior manager for firm's London office

Minster Law has appointed Richard Allen as a senior manager in complex claims.

Richard joins the firm's London office and will have responsibility for legal costs across the practice. His role will focus on the future challenges in dealing with costs and case management, costs budgeting, and the successful recovery of costs.

With more than 30 years’ experience practicing law as both a fee earner and a costs lawyer, Richard was previously an associate partner at Masters Legal Costs Services LLP where he managed their accident team. Prior to this role, Richard was a partner in Liddell and Company solicitors, where he managed their costs department, as well as conducting fast track and multi-track personal injury cases for major insurance clients.

Richard says: “I am greatly looking forward to this new challenge with Minster Law. I am impressed with the business’s strategy to become a market leading multi-track and catastrophic personal injury firm.”

Stuart Ramsey, managing director of Minster Law, says: “Richard joins us at an important time as the interpretation and application of the cost budgeting rules develop. Richard’s valuable skills and extensive litigation experience will ensure we have the right balance between robust cost recovery and smooth and efficient processes.”
