Description
Are you a Solicitor, CILEX Lawyer, or an Experienced Paralegal ready to take your career to the next level? We’re expanding our market-leading Fraud team within CSG and looking for passionate legal professionals to be part of something exceptional, specifically within our Casualty Fraud team.
Our Fraud team is a multi-award-winning powerhouse, known for its bold and proactive approach to defending complex insurance fraud claims. From pre-litigation to high-stakes litigation, we tackle technical cases and work closely with clients and law enforcement agencies like IFED and the Regional Fraud Teams to disrupt organised fraud networks.
As part of the Property fraud team, you’ll handle complex and high-value claims involving fraudulent property damage, exaggerated loss, and staged incidents—often linked to organised fraud networks. You’ll work closely with insurers, loss adjusters, and law enforcement to investigate suspicious claims and defend against financial loss.
What you will do?
Our team manages a broad and challenging caseload of suspected fraudulent claims, acting on behalf of major UK insurers. Your work will involve investigating and defending against a wide spectrum of fraud types—from opportunistic individual claims to complex, organised fraud rings. You’ll play a key role in identifying fraud indicators, developing case strategies, and delivering commercially focused legal advice that supports our clients’ anti-fraud objectives.
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.
