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
HF's Counter Fraud department is filled with experienced legal professionals who work in an engaging, friendly and supportive environment. The team prides itself on delivering excellent, results-focused services to clients while maintaining a strong sense of collaboration and team ethos.
We also encourage everyone to get involved in wider firm initiatives around personal development and wellbeing - including the engagement committee, client events, charity work, and volunteering opportunities.
