Why join us?

DWF LLP is a leading global provider of integrated legal and business services. Our Insurance practice is one of the strongest in the market, and our Motor & Fraud team in Northern Ireland is well established, award winning and continuing to grow.

We are now seeking an experienced Solicitor to join our Belfast team. This is an excellent opportunity to build your career within a high-performing and inclusive team, working on a broad range of interesting and complex matters while benefiting from the scale, support and opportunities of a global legal business.

We work on a hybrid working arrangement, offering flexibility around our clients’ and teams’ needs.

The Northern Ireland Motor & Fraud team is led by Louise Trimble, Partner, winner of Insurance Lawyer of the Year at the Women in Insurance Awards, and is recognised nationally for both the quality of its work and the strength of its culture.

Responsibilities

You will join a well-established and growing team in Northern Ireland, handling a varied and stimulating caseload across a wide range of specialisms, including injury claims at both pre-litigation and litigated stages, complex injury, catastrophic loss, motor damage, credit hire, recoveries and fraud-related matters.

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.
