1Question

Tell me about a time you had to manage a particularly complex case

I managed a multi-party housing dispute involving 4 defendants and 12 separate legal issues. The case had been stalled for 8 months due to incomplete documentation. I restructured the case file, identified 3 critical missing elements, and coordinated with legal teams to obtain outstanding evidence. I created a detailed timeline showing dependencies between each legal point and scheduled 6 court hearings over 10 weeks. This systematic approach resulted in successful case resolution within 3 months, saving the council £15,000 in extended legal costs.
2Question

How do you prioritise when managing multiple urgent cases?

When managing 28 urgent cases simultaneously, I developed a traffic light system based on court deadlines and case complexity. Red cases had deadlines within 5 days, amber within 2 weeks, and green beyond that. I allocated 60% of my time to red cases, 30% to amber, and 10% to green. I also created weekly stakeholder updates showing case status and resource allocation. This system helped me achieve 96% deadline compliance across all cases and reduced last-minute crisis situations by 75%.
