Hays Specialist Recruitment • EC4N 8AF
About this role
Your new firm
Our client is a highly regarded national law firm with a strong reputation in the insurance sector, acting for many leading UK insurers. Its award-winning fraud team is recognised for its proactive, commercial approach, offering high-quality work within a collaborative, flexible and forward-thinking environment.
Your new role
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing Motor Fraud team handling a wide range of suspected fraudulent motor claims, including staged accidents, exaggerated injuries and inflated costs. You will manage your own caseload of predominantly litigated matters, working closely with clients and colleagues to investigate claims, identify fraud indicators and develop effective legal strategies.
The role involves delivering commercial legal advice, maintaining strong client relationships, meeting KPIs and staying up to date with legal developments, while also gaining exposure to collaborative work with industry bodies and enforcement agencies tackling organised fraud.
What you'll need to succeed
To be successful, you will be a Solicitor, CILEX Lawyer or experienced Paralegal with litigation experience, ideally in personal injury or a similar area. You should have a strong understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules, be confident managing your own caseload, and possess excellent communication, analytical and negotiation skills with a commercial, solution-focused mindset.
Experience handling litigated matters, managing client relationships and working both independently and collaboratively is essential. Previous fraud experience is helpful but not required, as full training will be provided - what's most important is a proactive attitude and willingness to learn.
What you'll get in return
You'll join a firm that genuinely values flexibility, wellbeing and career development, offering a supportive and inclusive environment where your progression is encouraged. You can expect a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, alongside flexible working and clear opportunities to develop your career. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a leading fraud team on complex, high-quality cases in a collaborative and forward-thinking culture.
What you need to do now
If you are interested in this role or would like to discuss it further, please get in touch for a confidential conversation.
If this opportunity isn't quite the right fit, but you're exploring roles within insurance litigation, fraud or disputes, I would still be very happy to speak with you.
We would expect candidates to demonstrate the appropriate level of experience for the role, however, applications from individuals with a wider range of experience will be considered.
