Profile
Nicholas Bacon is a leading silk in his specialised field of costs He has appeared in practically all of the most important costs funding cases in recent years. His costs practice is well juxtaposed to his professional negligence work with particular emphasis on solicitors’ negligence, both for and against solicitors. This includes solicitors’ regulatory and disciplinary work.
The Directories
“Undoubtedly the best-known junior in the field,” he is often instructed in place of a silk to challenge points of law, as in Jones v Wrexham Borough Council, and Gloucestershire County Council v Evans. Famed for his encyclopaedic knowledge of costs law, he has “an impressive analytical eye, which he uses to great effect when on his feet.” Clients particularly take a shine to his “bold and forceful advocacy style,” as it "reassures them that he is always fighting their corner hard.” (Chambers and Partners: 2008) Recommended as one of the leading juniors. "Nicholas Bacon enjoys a reputation as 'the Bar's pre-eminent junior on costs work.' 'Practical and accessible, he is the most highly specialised senior junior available and so good that he regularly appears in higher courts without a leader.'" (Chambers and Partners: 2007) "Described as 'hard-working and intelligent' …..and is 'respected by leaders and juniors alike'." (Legal 500: 2007) “Hardworking, energetic and steeped in costs law, Nicholas Bacon has probably the biggest costs practice at the Bar and “solicitors like him enormously”. (Legal 500 – 2005) “An experienced and formidable opponent who lives and breaths costs appeared in many leading cases” (Legal 500-2004) “Knows the subject backwards’ and is the leading player, with a string of important recent cases to his name” (Legal 500: 2003)
