Fast Track Specialist File Handler Are you ready to take your litigation skills to the next level? Join our team as a Fast Track Specialist File Handler and make an impact in a challenging, rewarding role. As a Specialist Handler you will handle litigated delegated and non-delegated motor instructions on behalf of key insurer clients as well as the MIB. The successful candidate will work in a small team dedicated to dealing with cases involving indemnity issues, on behalf of the MIB and other UK's largest insurers and will report directly to the Team Leader in respect of day-to-day tasks.
The team handle cases valued from £0-£150,000 in value. It will be necessary for the candidate to be able to demonstrate an ability to impress the client with the extent of their legal knowledge as well as their understanding of the litigation process 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.
The successful candidate should therefore be able to recognise cases with a technical bias, e.g. whether the MIB is the correct party to pursue (having an understanding of the Uninsured Drivers and Untraced Drivers Agreement) or whether an Insurer is a contractual Insurer, RTA Insurer, or Article 75 Insurer, and what actions are required if the policyholder is a Claimant and there is a counterclaim be pursued. The successful candidate should have a good understanding of Part 7 litigation process and dispute resolution.
There will also be claims involving multiple parties, as well as progression opportunities to handle more high valued multi-track value claims.
