Peak Costs

“While we explored various lending options, the offering from FW Capital was the perfect fit for our current stage of development. We have a very busy pipeline of work, and this investment is already being put to good use to help us realise our ambitions.”

Martin Walsh, Managing Director, Peak Costs

Specialist legal costs firm Peak Costs received a significant six-figure investment from NPIF II – FW Capital Debt Finance, which is managed by FW Capital as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II (NPIF II) to accelerate its growth strategy following a landmark merger last year.

Peak Costs provides a comprehensive range of costs services to law firms, specialising in high-stakes areas including clinical negligence, personal injury, Court of Protection, and commercial litigation. 

The investment provided the working capital to fund integration costs and support the scaling of the firm’s infrastructure and operating systems. The investment also created at least five new specialist roles.

Established in 2025 and operating from offices in Carlisle and Liverpool, the firm now boasts a combined workforce of 40 employees, making it one of the largest providers of specialist legal costs services in England and Wales.
