Litigation Paralegal

At Zego, we understand that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It's too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't reflect how well you actually drive. Since 2016, we have been on a mission to change that by offering the lowest priced insurance for good drivers.

From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are the driving force behind everything we do. We've sold tens of millions of policies and raised over $200 million in funding and picked up numerous awards, including the Insurance Claims Team Of The Year 2024 as awarded at The Insurance Post's Claims & Fraud Awards. And we're only just getting started.

That's where you come in...

We're on the lookout for a passionate, driven, and eager Litigations Handler to grow with our team in Halifax. It is an excellent opportunity for someone with a legal background who wants to join a fast paced, growing insurer and make a tangible impact within our Third Party Insurance team at Zego. As a Litigation Handler, you will act as a pivotal link in our process, liaising directly with panel solicitors on litigated claims. Beyond managing your own files, you will serve as a technical resource, providing expert guidance to pre-litigation teams to sharpen our decision making.

What you'll be doing

• Case Management- Handling a diverse caseload of litigated motor claims (Property Damage and Personal Injury) through to settlement or trial
• Technical- Drafting and reviewing court documents, witness statements, and instructions with high attention to detail
• Strategic Negotiation- Driving commercial outcomes through robust negotiation and effective management of panel solicitors
• Accurate Reserving- Ensuring financial exposure is correctly reflected at every stage of the litigation lifecycle.
  

What We're Looking For

• Previous legal experience ideally within a motor insurance and claims environment
• Experience in dealing with personal injury would be an advantage
• Solid understanding of CPR, the MOJ Portal, and the litigation process
• Ability to provide clear, concise case updates to Andrew and wider stakeholders
• A proactive, "owner" mentality with a desire to sharpen your legal expertise in a fast-paced environment

Zego has a truly international and inclusive team, unified by great ideas and collaborative thoughtfulness. Our people are the most important part of our story and everyone plays an essential role in our journey. We look for people who have expertise, enthusiasm and who are motivated by change. There's plenty of room to learn and grow, as part of our ongoing training programmes or directly from other experts. You'll work alongside a talented group of people who respect each other's differences and seek to understand fresh perspectives.

We believe that teams work better when they have time to collaborate and space to get things done. We call it Zego Hybrid.

Our hybrid way of working is unique. We foster a flexible approach that empowers every Zegon to perform at their best. After that, you would be expected to be in our Halifax office at least 1 day a week. We will provide a hybrid contribution to help pay towards your travel costs and cover the costs for all company-wide events (3 per year).

We think it's a good mix of collaborative face time and flexible home-working, setting us up to achieve the right balance between work and life.

We believe in the power of AI to meaningfully improve how we work - helping us move faster, think differently, and focus on what matters most.

This is your chance to do the most meaningful work of your career - and we'll provide you with the tools, support, and freedom to do it well.
