Qualitative Research on Career Pathways of Regulated Costs Lawyers


14/11/2025

The Costs Lawyer Standards Board (CLSB), the regulator of Costs Lawyers in England and Wales, has commissioned the Careers Research and Advisory Centre (CRAC) to conduct qualitative research on regulated Costs Lawyers’ career pathways. This follow-up project builds on a survey, run by CLSB in 2024, which obtained information about the different paths that had led practitioners to their current career phase in costs law. The aim is to deepen understanding of these career trajectories and practitioners’ career thinking through a programme of interviews, which should also result in a range of case studies.


We are currently conducting interviews with regulated Costs Lawyers. Please refer to the Data Privacy Notice (DPN) for details on how we would use your information:
