    • Complete settlement/negotiation plan, giving objective and well-considered weight to the strengths or weaknesses of case, anticipated rebuttal and counterarguments, venue climate, verdict potential, and/or projected future costs.
    • Notify insured of key developments and demands throughout the case and communicate with agency and UW departments regarding substantial high dollar shift in financial exposure.
    • Actively drive case resolution momentum and progression and provide a "road map" and explanation for case decisions. Ensure that outcome-based plan and strategy are included in file handling.
    • On litigated files, collaborate with defense counsel on a fluid and dynamic basis to explore and identify efficient, cost-effective resolution alternative and strategies.
    • Direct negotiation, settlement conference, and/or mediation efforts. Assertively create and pursue early settlement opportunities.
