What is an ATE Delegated Authority Scheme?
If you handle a volume of ATE insurance cases in a specialist area of litigation, a Delegated Authority (DA) scheme can save time and money for you and your clients.
A DA scheme puts you in control of giving your clients the best possible service in the way you want to deliver it.
ATE Delegated Authority (DA) Schemes: are they for you?
Yes, if your law firm fulfils some or all of the following criteria:
- You have expertise and a track record in a particular area of litigation
- You predict a volume of ATE insurance cases, based on past experience
- You operate your ATE insurance cases under a Conditional Fee Arrangement
- You have a good no claims record in ATE insurance
- You are a member of a Law Society panel or specialist interest group, such as APIL
- You have taken on an experienced specialist to develop this area of your business
- You are dissatisfied with your current scheme and want independent advice on better options
