Kevin Friedlander is a costs mediator and arbitrator based in South Africa.

He writes for Costs ADR on the international development of costs-dispute practice — including the move away from court-led detailed assessment toward arbitration-aligned costs determination, the friction points with the Legal Practice Council, and the role of virtual platforms in making costs ADR accessible across jurisdictions.

His perspective is particularly relevant for UK practitioners working on cross-border costs disputes and for those interested in how costs-ADR models adopted overseas may inform reform in England & Wales.
