Job Details


Your new firm
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. This role offers office-based, hybrid or remote working but you will need to come into their Birmingham office once a month or for training and client events as required.

Your new role
The firm has roles available across their Motor, Casualty and Vehicle Hire teams at different levels, with work including defending and investigating exaggerated claims, fabricated claims, fabricated accident circumstances, substituted injury, staged accidents and organised fraud. You will be speaking with clients and interviewing witnesses, analysing evidence and asking questions of experts, instructing their intelligence team to conduct investigations and considering sanctions to include recovery of costs, injunctions, committal proceedings and police referrals. You will be responsible for a caseload of predominantly litigated claims, with an appropriate level of supervision, potentially across a number of different clients. These claims will all have fraud concerns and be managed under Delegated and Non-Delegated authority agreements.

The Fraud team is a specialised multiple award-winning and dynamic team defending both pre-litigated and litigated technical claims. It has a reputation for robustly defending fraud insurance claims and proactively tackling those organisations and professional enablers driving the claims, particularly within their projects and organised fraud specialisms. The team adopts a collaborative approach where both reactive and proactive investigation is promoted, working hand in hand with their clients and law enforcement agencies such as IFED and the new Regional Fraud teams. Their leadership team comprises Associates, Legal Directors and Partners who are very experienced and well respected by clients and who will help to support you to succeed.

Their work has resulted in a number of outstanding successes for their clients, including findings of fundamental dishonesty in civil courts, committals to prison for contempt of court, Appeal wins, police referrals and remedies for recovery of costs.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a solicitor, chartered legal executive or experienced paralegal with a sound knowledge of the Civil Procedure Rules. You will ideally have defendant EL/PL, RTA or credit hire experience; some experience of fraud would be beneficial, but is not essential, as the successful candidate will be fully trained to appropriately defend fraudulent insurance claims.

What you'll get in return
This is a great opportunity to join a top firm where you can enjoy the flexibility of remote working and a competitive salary. Training will be provided. The role offers high levels of flexibility and a great worklife balance, a well-rounded remuneration package (which includes private medical insurance, income protection insurance and discounted gym membership, amongst many other benefits) and opportunities for growth and progression, including professional funding.
