About HF
People. Not just lawyers
We’re not your typical law firm – we’re people with a passion for helping our clients and each other achieve the best possible outcomes. We are leading legal advisers to the insurance and commercial sectors across the UK & Ireland, known for our innovation, client focus, and long-lasting relationships. We do things differently, with a forward-thinking approach built around our clients’ needs, supported by cutting-edge technology and a culture built around people from a wide range of backgrounds who are taking an equally wide range of routes to building their careers in law.
About the team
Our counter-fraud department is the biggest of its type in the market, running over 700 cases to contested trials each year and winning most of them. We have secured over 2,000 findings of fundamental dishonesty since the rule was introduced (more than any other firm) and, in the process, recovered over £1m in legal costs for our clients every single year.
What you’ll be doing
- You will not only be working independently but also as part of a team investigating and defending fraudulent claims arising from motor accidents.
- Competently deal with a case load of files within our case management system
- Manage your own case load of motor fraud matters, ensuring that clients are confident their legal affairs are dealt with in a professional and competent manner and ensuring the efficient operation of the team.
- You will also have the opportunity to carry out Advocacy on applications and Case Management Conferences as and when required.
What do I need?
The ideal candidate will have completed a law degree/GDL/LPC, have previous file handling experience or worked in the insurance industry, as well as the below:
- An enthusiastic and self-motivated attitude with a desire to achieve and exceed targets combined with the ability to work in a fast paced environment.
- The ability to demonstrate initiative and creative problem solving
- A strong work ethic and a committed team player.
However, whilst experience and qualifications are desirable, above all we hire based on potential so, if you want to learn and develop within an exciting and niche area of law, we are able to offer you the training to succeed.
All new starters will receive training to introduce you to the type of work we do and teach you how we handle claims for our clients. Once you have completed the training, you will progress to handling your own caseload.
