    Brief

    The Education Authority seeks to establish contracts with up to 4 law firms to provide defence legal services for personal injury claims. Services include defending actual or anticipated High Court or County Court proceedings against the Education Authority, Libraries NI, controlled schools, Irish Medium Schools, or Catholic Maintained Schools. Firms may also conduct initial claims investigations, defend or prosecute appeals, and handle third party or contribution proceedings. This is an on-demand contract with no guaranteed volume or frequency of work allocation. Work will typically be allocated on a rotational basis, but the Education Authority reserves the right to allocate work to internal solicitors or other providers instead. Contractors should understand the workload is indeterminate and no exclusivity is offered.
