Preparation of detailed bills of costs is traditionally charged by costs consultants as a percentage of the total professional fees claimed.
At Blue Ribbon Legal we are of the view that percentage-based fees do not necessarily accurately reflect the work necessary to prepare a bill of costs and may result in inflated claims or inclusion of claims unlikely to be allowed on assessment or taxation.
Should your firm or client specifically request a percentage-based fee to prepare an itemised bill, we will agree to calculation of our fees at 10% of total professional fees claimed (inclusive of GST).

Tyler Everingham – Australian Young Race Car Driver
Tyler Everingham is a 22-year old Supercar driver from Dubbo, whose recent achievements include one of Australia’s most prestigious honours in motorsport – The Mike Kable Young Gun Award at the 2019 Supercars Gala Dinner.
First introduced to karting at 10, Tyler has raced in Formula 4, Australian Production Car Series, the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour, winning the Kuhmo Tyre Australian V8 Touring Car National Series (Super3 Series) in 2018 and completing an impressive rookie year in the Dunlop Super2 Series in 2019 including a race win at Sandown.
Tyler’s 2020 season was interrupted by a crash at the Bathurst 12-hour and COVID-19, before making his Supercars debut as a wildcard with GRM Motorsport at the Bathurst 1000. In 2021 Tyler returned to the Dunlop Super2 Series with MW Motorsport, continuing his motorsport journey in the goal of becoming the Australia Supercars Champion – race wins at Bathurst and Sydney and a round win at Sydney were highlights. 2022 saw Tyler again racing with MW Motorsport in the #27 Nissan Altima in his quest to become the Dunlop Super2 Champion.
Tyler‘s achievements during 2022 included:
