Insurer hires two claims handlers and support role

Appointments

Allianz Legal Protection (ALP) has announced three new appointments to its after-the-event claims team.

The insurer has appointed Alex Driscoll and David Lomas as claims handlers, and Natalie Bird, who takes on a support role.

Driscoll previously worked for RBS as a defendant claims handler and Lomas joins from the Bank of Ireland, where he was complaints investigator.

Their key responsibilities will include claims management along with providing support to ALP’s panel of solicitors. Bird will assist both claims handlers and maintain the team’s online administrative system.  

ALP claims manager James Barclay said: “We remain fully committed to the future of the ATE market. These new additions to our team will ensure that we are well positioned to meet the opportunities and challenges involved with modelling and shaping the legal expenses environment over the next few years.”
