Our PI litigation philosophy
Our litigation policy is framed by our overriding desire to be known for providing advice of unsurpassable quality which genuinely reflects what we would do, were we in our clients’ shoes. This means, for example, that we take an assertive, pragmatic approach for the benefit of our clients whilst being sensitive to the needs of the insured. More specifically, it means that our litigation philosophy is based upon the following key considerations:
Client priorities
We know that only by understanding our client’s specific and broader priorities can we recommend and execute the right strategies.
Early assessment of merits
All issues must be assessed swiftly and within the context of commercial pragmatism. If the claim is one for settlement, we work to achieve this as quickly as possible. If it is one to fight, our pro-active approach ensures cost effective progress to the final hearing.
Specialist in-house personnel
We have experienced specialists in all aspects of defendant PI. We make the most of this asset by allocating cases to the professional best qualified to handle them.
Innovation
Practised ‘lateral thinkers’, we regularly achieve settlements through novel and innovative arrangements, saving time and money for all concerned.
