Firms will have two hours to contact clients after instruction
Hiscox’s UK retail arm has culled its legal panel and introduced a host of new service standards which it said would deliver a better claims service to clients and brokers.
From today, each law firm has a maximum two-hour window to contact a customer once instructed by Hiscox. The insurer said a new monitoring process will rewards firms that “innovate, step up and delight our customers” with more work.
Hiscox head of UK claims Bob Thaker said: “Adopting a genuine spirit of partnership with fewer firms focused on service goes against the current industry trend in what has predominantly become a race to the bottom on legal spend.
“We recognise that value goes beyond just cost, and as such, we have sought to build partnerships with a tighter group of law firms that share our values and focus on service, rather than a singular focus on rates.”
Hiscox has reduced the number of firms it will appoint to advise policyholders making a claim from 45 to 13 firms.
It has also agreed a transparent pricing structure with the remaining panel firms. They are: Arthur Cox; Beale’s; Berrymans Lace Mawer; Browne Jacobson; Clyde & Co; DWF Fishburns; Kennedys; Lake Legal; Pinsent Masons; Reynolds Porter Chamberlain; Robin Simon; Ronan Daly Jermyn; Simpson & Marwick and Watson Burton.
It's the perfect way to acknowledge hard work, inspire your team, and network with industry leaders.
Crucially, as many of our attendees have done before, you can use your table booking as the perfect, hassle-free Team Christmas Party, combining prestige, celebration, and a memorable night they'll talk about all year!
