What does a litigation claims manager do?

A Litigation Claims Manager oversees the process of handling claims that have escalated to litigation, typically within an insurance or legal environment. Their responsibilities include evaluating the merits of claims, coordinating with legal counsel, managing settlements, and ensuring compliance with laws and company policies. They work to minimize financial exposure while ensuring fair treatment of all parties involved. Additionally, they may supervise a team of claims adjusters or specialists and report on the status and outcomes of litigated claims to senior management.
