contract with Atrium Legal Services, worth £3 million over 2
years.
Atrium Legal Services Limited is the largest claims management
company specialising in industrial disease claims including hearing
loss, vibration white finger and asbestos claims. After a
considered review of the market, it has appointed Shire & Co,
firstly to create a panel of solicitors able to handle the claims
and then to distribute, manage and monitor the flow of work.
"We named Shire & Co as our legal services broker because of
its understanding of our market combined with its reputation for
excellence in customer service," said Charles Cox at Atrium Legal
Services.
Martyn Jones, director of Shire & Co, explained: "The
process of building the panel of solicitors is now well under way;
we are seeking applications and conducting due diligence on each
firm confirming a range of elements including financial stability
and levels of client care.
"We expect to process the initial cases this month and will
monitor ongoing performance throughout the claim."
Atrium Legal Services is raising awareness amongst possible
claimants through a combination of direct marketing and publicity
and expects to feed 1,500 cases through to Shire & Co per
month.
