Our client, an award-winning international law firm, is looking for a Claims Handler to join their growing Legal Support team that handles claims made against professionals.  Acting on behalf of leading insurers, the Claims Handler will handle these Professional Indemnity (PI) claims for pre-litigated matters from first notification of loss to settlement.  Managing a caseload will include reviewing and investigating cover, assisting insured professionals, responding to claims, and reporting to insurers.

• Managing a caseload to avoid unnecessary litigation and ensure resolution
• Negotiating settlement of claims, working efficiently, commercially, and in line with delegated authority
• Maintaining and ensuring the completeness, accuracy, quality, and integrity of data on the case management system
• Understanding insurer requirements and adhering to their SLAs
• Meeting KPIs around service delivery, quality assurance, and caseload management
