Reporting

We operate a flexible reporting strategy. Our experience shows that clients have differing demands and set their own criteria. We do our best to comply with our client’s requirements.

We are happy to report on a regular basis at a frequency dictated by the client. We have a powerful flexible computer system. We can provide statistics in written and graphic forms. Here follows some of the information currently supplied.

- All open files
- All successful files
- All unsuccessful files
- Fees by amount
- Disbursements by amount
- % of fee against gross recovery
- Gross recoveries by amount
- Net payable by amount
- Selected statistics by commodity
- Statistics by name of insured
- Notes on current status of claims
- % of successful against unsuccessful

The list above is not comprehensive. This information can be supplied to our clients annually, or quarterly, or monthly. Most clients that require this sort of feedback need it no more than bi-annually.

Fees

We are happy to provide details of our fees for any service to prospective clients. In respect of claims work we can accept instructions from clients on a "no cure no pay" basis and a copy of our standard fee scale in this regard is available on request.

In some circumstances we can agree on a special fee scale, for example where we are exclusively instructed to handle subrogated claims for a major UK insurer. We feel that instructions on a no cure no pay basis produce the best results for all parties involved, and we endeavour to handle all claims from beginning to end within our London office.

Because of the nature of the international claims work we handle there is sometimes the need to involve external surveyors, consultants or lawyers. We have links with a number of specialist firms throughout the world for this purpose and whenever possible we obtain our clients approval to their involvement before appointment.
