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 Role
Our counter-fraud department is the biggest of its type in the market, running over 700 cases to contested trials each year and winning most of them. We have secured over 2,000 findings of fundamental dishonesty since the rule was introduced (more than any other firm) and, in the process, recovered over £1m in legal costs for our clients every single year.
We work in the civil and criminal courts, maximising sanctions and endlessly pursuing costs recovery from liars and cheats. We’re not afraid to shout about our results and regularly feature across a variety of media outlets (such as Claimed and Shamed), to provide a clear deterrent to would-be fraudsters.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
