Defence Lawyer

Manage the early stages of litigation, without lawyers

Why choose Defence Lawyer?

Why instruct a law firm if you can do the work yourself, for a fraction of the cost? Defence Lawyer helps you manage costs by only using a lawyer when you really need one.

If you decide to litigate, and liability isn’t in dispute, it gives your handlers the power to manage proceedings and try to settle. They’ll only need to instruct a lawyer if the claim becomes more complex.

Through Defence Lawyer you can access Credit Hire Pro, designed to significantly reduce legal spend and dependency on legal counsel. Credit Hire pro empowers insurance claims handlers to make robust offers and stand by them, enabling control and strategic decision making.

What does Defence Lawyer do?

Legal proceedings, without the lawyers

Defence Lawyer is an automated workflow system that speeds you through the litigation process. It helps you manage the process from service of court proceedings to settlement, using templates and documents created and approved by our lawyers.

We’ve worked with our lawyers and claims experts to design the process, so that anybody can manage proceedings without needing a legal background. It works on a diary based system, allocating tasks to your handlers in a to-do list. It also generates documents and templates, with ‘pop up’ hints and tips to help them complete each stage. So you can be sure they’re following the correct process, to the letter.

Customise it to suit your business

All businesses have slightly different ways of working, so you can add steps or stages into the workflow, depending on your own internal processes. That might mean additional reminders, or different timescales to complete certain tasks. You can even make these changes yourself, in real time, with no extra development costs.

And, to make sure everything looks official and correct, you can add your own branding to documents.

Take control of your credit hire offer strategy

Faced with the challenge of escalating costs and inflation in credit hire claims, the insurance industry has long sought a transformative solution. Credit Hire Pro, a key feature of Defence Lawyer, directly tackles these issues.

Credit Hire Pro streamlines the entire claims handling process by integrating advanced data-driven decision-making tools with strategic litigation management. The result is a significant reduction in legal panel instructions and operational complexities, coupled with faster resolution of claims.

Tailored for Claims Handlers, Credit Hire Specialists and Claims Litigation Managers, it enhances control and precision in their work, making a departure from traditional legal model of claims defence practices. With a commitment to embedding cutting-edge technology and transparent processes, Credit Hire Pro drives the industry towards more efficient, equitable, and swift claims resolutions.
