• Provision of general legal advice

• Representing the authority in litigation

• Maintaining a knowledge of issues facing the authority and being prepared to offer legal opinions

• Supporting the development and knowledge of the insurance team.

Regular management information relating to claims settlement and costs will need to be provided.
