Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

 

  • Managing a high-volume caseload of RTA pre and post-litigation non-portal claims.
  • Building strong relationships with clients and ensuring their claims are progressed in their best interests.
  • Handling complex liability disputes, including motorcycle claims and denials of liability, with minimal supervision.
  • Assessing quantum, reviewing medical evidence, and researching case law for complex multi-site injuries.
  • Preparing schedules of special damages and assessing appropriate compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity.
  • Negotiating with third parties to secure the best possible settlements for clients.
  • Identifying litigation opportunities and progressing claims strategically.
  • Drafting court proceedings, completing directions questionnaires, and managing court deadlines.
  • Preparing disclosure documents, dealing with telephone hearings, submitting evidence, and instructing Counsel and other experts where required.

  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage a busy caseload.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with great attention to detail.
  • Experience using case management systems and Microsoft Office.
  • Confident negotiation skills and the ability to think tactically.
  • The ability to work independently while also being a great team player.
  • A genuine interest in developing their knowledge and progressing professionally.
