Experience
Multinational telecommunications company
Providing a managed legal service for a multinational telecommunications company in relation to consumer claims, including defending claims up to trial. The claims included litigated cases allocated to the multi-track. As a result of our involvement, our client’s inhouse legal and complaints team had more time to focus on the strategic matters which required their attention.
Large financial institution
Our Legal Operations Advisory team advised a large financial institution to re-imagine their legal function and supported their transformation. This project involved a large data gathering exercise to capture and analyse current state activity, technology usage and key opportunities for change so that the client could move closer to their future-state aspirations.
Financial services client
Implementing and managing a redress project, mandated by the regulator, on behalf of a financial services client. Digital's lawyers assessed complex claims comprising up to 52 categories of loss, including consequential losses, with claim values up to £39 million.
