About HF
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.
Our Property Insurance team works with many of the UK’s leading property insurers, handling a wide range of claims arising from fires, floods, escapes of water, storms, explosions, vehicle impacts, and other causes of property damage. The team manages a mixture of high-profile and high-value matters and is continuing to grow as we win work from both existing and new clients.
You’ll be joining a knowledgeable, supportive, and highly respected team that is known for delivering excellent results while developing strong relationships across the industry.
