Your new company
Our client is a Top 20 law firm with offices across the globe. They are currently recruiting Solicitors, Chartered Legal Executives or Experienced Paralegals to join their market-leading Fraud team nationwide.

Your new role
In this role, you'll take full ownership of a caseload of predominantly litigated claims, primarily focused on RTA, EL/PL, and credit hire matters, all of which carry fraud concerns. These cases will be managed under both Delegated and Non-Delegated authority agreements, with appropriate levels of supervision depending on complexity and client requirements. A key part of your responsibility will be investigating and defending against exaggerated or fabricated claims, staged accidents, and organised fraud. This will involve liaising directly with clients, interviewing witnesses, analysing evidence, instructing intelligence teams, and developing robust defence strategies.
You will be joining an award-winning fraud team, known for defending complex pre-litigated and litigated insurance claims. The team takes a proactive, collaborative approach to tackling fraudulent activity, working closely with clients and law enforcement agencies to investigate and challenge organised fraud.
