Support services provider Capita has widened its range of services with the acquisition of Cost Auditing Limited (CAL).
Capita claimed that the acquisition of one of the leading providers of legal-cost auditing services will enable it to reduce administration costs while enhancing customer service.
The core activity of CAL is the auditing of bills submitted by claimants' lawyers.
William Dye, managing director of Capita Insurance Services said: "I am pleased to welcome the CAL team to Capita Insurance Services. This acquisition is an exciting addition as CAL are both leaders and innovators
within legal cost auditing.
"It also extends the breadth of the service we can supply to our customers helping them to run their businesses more efficiently, and us to strengthen our market leading position within insurance services."
