    • Adherence to internal and client SLAs, KPIs, and protocols.
    • Achievement of agreed financial targets.

    • Prompt and accurate provision of MI.
    • Supporting a clear case strategy which is adhered to, ensuring cases are run smoothly and balance the commercial interests of both the Firm and the client.
    • Applying appropriate and current technical expertise and case law.
    • Effectively managing risk and compliance issues within each case, ensuring any emerging problems are escalated promptly to their Supervisor.
    • Engaging with clients where appropriate to maximize opportunities to meet and build rapport with clients, at all times acting as an ambassador of the firm.
    • Contribute to Business Development and client relationship activity in support of the Client Relationship Partner where required.
    • Maintaining and developing technical knowledge through attendance at training sessions and reading appropriate publications.

Who you are:

  • 0-5 years’ experience in a similar role.
  • Experience in Multi Track or Fast Track Claims.
  • EL/PL Experience.
  • A high level of personal compliance with firm protocols and procedures.
  • Good legal knowledge relevant to their area of expertise.
  • Good organization skills, able to work to deadlines, prioritize own workload, and meet conflicting demands.
  • An ability to adopt a commercial perspective to legal issues.
  • High standard of written and oral communication skills.
  • Confident negotiator.
  • Able to produce work to a high standard, with excellent attention to detail and concern for quality of service.
