Legal Assistant - Insurance Claims Handler (ID:6205)
We are currently recruiting for an
established national law firm, who are keen to bring onboard a Claims Handler
to work within their insurance team. This is an exciting opportunity for an
individual with previous claims or legal experience to develop their skills in
a progressive role that may lead to other opportunities in the firm long-term!
You
will be responsible for:
· Managing your own diary and caseload, investigating,
and resolving claims
· Collating relevant documentation and evidence,
drafting legal proceedings, correspondence, and statements, ensuring everything
is compliant and in line with the firm’s policies and procedures
· Assessing evidence, considering, and
negotiating liability and establishing responsibility
· Liaising with solicitors and insurers
regularly, and establishing and maintaining strong relationships with clients,
communicating on the phone, and via emails and letters to keep them updated
with any changes to their cases

administrative tasks, such as file management, billing and sending out letters
Experience
of handling property or motor insurance claims within professional services is
ideal, and additional experience of working within a law firm or an LLB
alongside this would be preferred but is not necessary. You must have strong investigative
skills, excellent verbal and written communication and pay keen attention to
detail. A proactive approach to your work, confidence managing a high-volume
workload and the ability to work at a fast pace when completing work to
deadlines is also essential.
This is a full-time, permanent position paying up to £20k
