May 2007 – Present: Liability Claims Technician, Brit Team, Cunningham Lindsey
Situated in the desktop team of the Brit department where Brit Insurance had outsourced their liability insurance claims work to Cunningham Lindsey. This involved handling a large caseload and triaging new claims. Investigations were carried out in light of liability and cases were dealt with accordingly. A range of public and employer’s liability cases were dealt with pre issue including property damage and product liability. Injury Cases were also dealt with before and during litigation.
Nov 2007 – May 2008: Paralegal, Burroughs Day Solicitors, Bristol
Working in the Initial Contact Team for the Injury Claims Departments. This involved taking detailed instructions from clients and vetting their claims. This was carried out over the phone and face-to-face. This also involved answering any questions that clients would have about the claims process and funding arrangements.

Oct 2006 : Mini- pupillage, Assize Court Chambers, Bristol
Shadowed a criminal barrister preparing for, and attending trial. Gained insight into the work of the Magistrates, Crown and Youth Courts.
Learnt the difference between Counsel’s advice on criminal matters compared to the civil ones drafted on the BVC. I observed advocacy in practice away from the classroom and the implementation of special measures in the Youth Court.
