With Thompsons `On Demand’ flexible referrals, you’ll find exactly the right option for you and your client.
In short - when you feel completely comfortable about doing so.
Thompsons `On Demand’ is different from other solicitor services because it’s much more flexible.
It offers a full menu of services, payment structures, and complete access to the case on an ongoing basis - if that’s important to you and your client.
Many partner firms prefer to refer a case to us from the very outset, others prefer to obtain a precognition before passing it on.
For some partners, they like to investigate then intimate the claim themselves, bringing us in as the case develops, or when insurers reject the claim or even introduce unnecessary delays into proceedings.
`On Demand’ fits around you and your client needs, whether it’s at the early outset of the case build or after extensive preparation.
When it’s time to refer, you can pick up the phone, send us an email, or organise an in person or virtual meeting to discuss your case.
Exactly the way you want us to.
From the very start we discuss your preferred method of communication, and the frequency and format of each communication, and then put into place the systems required to deliver your updates exactly the way you want.
We can call, email, organise regular meetings or diarise updates at regular intervals, and all the while you’ll have secure online access to all the case information as the case progresses.
A full menu of communication options is available to you, and once selected, `On Demand’ delivers.
`On Demand’ is designed with you and your client in mind, that’s why it’s the most flexible referral service available to Solicitors in Scotland.
When you refer your case to Thompsons, it is still your case - the client is still your client.
This never changes.
How we communicate with your client is vitally important to help bolster your relationship and enhance the client’s view that you not only remain involved, but that you’re integral to the ongoing case development.
This can include dual branded letter heading, meetings taking place in your offices, settlement cheques coming directly from you; whatever you feel most comfortable with, `On Demand’ is designed to help strengthen your relationship and reputation with your clients, long after the successful conclusion of the case.
You have the flexibility to remain as involved as you wish, in perception and practice.
Sometimes, all you need is a friendly chat to help steer you in the right direction.
`On Demand’ was designed to help build relationships between Thompsons and other solicitors across Scotland, and as such, we will happily chat through any difficult cases you have to help you decide on the best route forward – without any cost or obligation to you.
