You’ll identify and develop protocols and guidance notes to improve the efficiency of complaints, litigation and contentious regulatory management to aid the team, working closely with other team members to deliver these.

Panel Firm Management: You’ll instruct and liaise with external law firms, including supporting senior managers in managing the relationship with panel advisors and maximising the value received from panel firms. You’ll support team members and senior managers to ensure the provision of structure and quality control around the use and instruction of panel law firms, and assist senior managers with the control of external spend on legal advisors.
