HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Alan Adrian established our affiliate company QICS in 1989 after learning the trade and sharpening his skills at Law Costs Pty Ltd for eight years. Twenty years later in 2009, Alan, together with his brother Gary Adrian, acquired Law Costs, becoming a powerhouse of experience and knowledge.

Since these beginnings, National Costing Services was introduced, drawing upon this extensive knowledge and experience. Alan has successfully grown the National Costing Services, National Costing Lawyers and QICS brands into one of the longest-running and most recognised group of national legal costs consulting firms in the country today.
