Global law firm Clyde & Co has launched a new platform which provides insurance claims teams with a suite of products to help speed up the handling of their casualty insurance claims.
The platform initially comprises of six specific products which includes an AI costs assessor, a loss of earnings & pensions calculator, a recoveries assistant and an accommodation claim calculator.
The products combine the firm’s casualty insurance legal expertise with automated intelligence, with the aim of delivering the lowest overall indemnity spend for clients – in effect a smaller total cost and time outlay on a claim for clients.
The new product development and the firm’s strategy for digital innovation in casualty is being led by Clyde & Co’s new Head of Digital for Casualty, Ben Parsons, who joined from Freshfields law firm where he was the Global Delivery Manager for their Enterprise Systems.
Clyde & Co Global Insurance Chief Operating Officer Natalie Griffin says: “Our casualty insurance operation has set itself the target of becoming the lowest overall indemnity spend provider to its clients.
“To achieve this, we’re investing heavily in digital innovation and transformation. Our new platform is a key part of that investment and will support our insurer clients by offering them cutting-edge technology and AI for claims automation backed up by our market leading lawyers and best-in-class advice.”
Partner Damian Rourke says: “Our new products draw on the deep experience of our legal, forensic and fraud teams to provide automated solutions spanning the claims lifecycle.
“It can assist insurers on a wide range of tasks, from processing new instructions, fraud screening, reserve and offer calculations, to settlement and pursuit of recoveries.
“It offers guidance to insurers’ claims handlers, enhances their capability and reduces insurers’ reliance on their legal panels.”
Parsons added: “Clyde & Co is embarking on an ambitious digital programme in casualty that will see insurers offered some truly game-changing technology.
“I’m thrilled to be leading this drive and working closely with so many major insurers, the partners in our casualty practice and others across the firm.”
