About The Role

We are seeking Causation Solicitors and Legal Executives to join our industry‑leading Counter Fraud department based at our Media City, Salford Quays office. We offer hybrid and flexible working, so for those slightly further away this is a great opportunity to progress your career at an award‑winning firm. Our team is made up of legal professionals working in an engaging and friendly environment, proud to make an impact through an excellent, results‑focused service to our clients. We encourage our people to be involved in team and firm‑wide initiatives centred on personal development and wellbeing, not just the work we do.

What will you be doing?

• Work independently and 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, including running your own caseload of motor fraud matters, ensuring clients are confident their legal affairs are dealt with professionally and ensuring the efficient operation of the team.
• Carry out Advocacy on applications and Case Management Conferences as and when required.

What do I need?

• Completed a law degree, GDL, LPC, ILEX and have previous file‑handling experience or have worked in the insurance industry.
• Enthusiastic and self‑motivated attitude with a desire to achieve and exceed targets, ability to work in a fast‑paced environment, initiative and creative problem solving.
• Strong work ethic, committed team player, ability to share ideas and experience to achieve the best results for clients.

Progression

As a firm we are fully committed to nurturing and growing talent, recognising the results of an individual’s work and rewarding high performance. Many people within Counter Fraud have had the opportunity to be promoted into management and operational positions and/or develop as technical specialists. HF values potential, and if you are inquisitive, hardworking and passionate about achieving great results, HF is a great place to develop your career.

What’s in it for you?

We are not your stereotypical corporate law firm. We offer flexible working and a relaxed dress code; you can be yourself at work. We continue to place a firm emphasis on investing in our people and promoting internally, always looking to invest and grow our people.
