At 10 Ton Gorilla, we work with our Clients to source the optimum legal team balancing legal excellence, strategy and budget.
We are the only full-service Litigation Management Agency bringing together extensive knowledge of the legal community, the insurance industry, legal costs management and litigation funding. Our in-depth understanding of modern litigation practices allows us to depart from the traditional practice of buying legal services based purely on time. We have a history of working with global organisations and international law firms. We have been engaged to costs manage some of the UKs largest commercial ‘big ticket’ litigation.
Our team consists of qualified costs lawyers, a founder of a commercial law firm, a former partner of a global law firm, costs managers of international law practices, trained mediators, Court Appointed Experts, Advocates with Higher Rights and insurance specialists. Each member of our team has on average more than 25 years of industry knowledge of expertise in all disciplines and jurisdictions for lawyers, barristers, experts and disclosure specialists which we utilitise to aid our Clients in their choice.
"Our mission is to work with our clients to ensure they are presented with the best possible staffing, funding and costs options when engaging lawyers."
Legal Pricing is not just securing the best financial retainer, it is matching the most suitable fee structure to the circumstances of a particular case and Client budget. Our Legal Costs expertise and experience means we can advise on and construct many different funding models, business agreement charging structures and financing options that Clients might not otherwise have awareness of or obvious access to.
Our industry knowledge means we can connect with insurers to provide the ATE insurance protection, liaise with Third Party Funders and Financiers to prop up or, where possible, even fund an entire case or matter and all of this is done without an external incentive or bias. In addition we are well placed to negotiate add-on functions including e-disclosure platforms.
We have developed unique costs management systems for costs planning and control providing our Clients with access to MI allowing them to take informed case decisions based on actual and estimated costs at any given point in time. This gives them the almost unique advantage of being able to assess the financial implications of decision, risks and strategies against further potential exposures to costs.
A big part of our offering to our Clients is ongoing costs case management ensuring that agreed legal budgets and estimates perform, insofar as possible, accurately and as expected providing certainty as to costs and potentially maximising any third party recovery.
