Description
Working in our Non-Delegated Authority Motor team the file handler will handle mainly fast track litigated motor instructions on behalf of key insurer clients, from issue of proceedings through to Trial. There may also be a selection of non-litigated, small claims to deal with if they fall into the NDA remit.
It will be necessary for the file handler to be able to demonstrate an ability to impress the client with the extent of their legal knowledge and provide clear unambiguous advice on the strategy for bringing a claim to its resolution. A clear view on both relevant case law and appropriate evidence will be necessary.

There are opportunities for development within this role as the team also deal with Multi Track work up to £150k.
