  • Obtaining instructions and information from clients and informing them of the processes and next steps.
  • Co-ordinating and liaising with experts, solicitors or other third parties.
  • Manage on-going communications with all external stakeholders, answering queries, managing expectations, providing updates and effectively chasing responses required and escalating appropriately.
