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.

Join HF's Advocacy Team

We are looking to recruit an experienced In-House Advocate to join our expanding motor team.
At HF, our advocates are an integral part of the team. They work alongside litigators, technical specialists and clients to shape strategy, influence outcomes and deliver exceptional results across a broad range of insurance disputes.

As one of the UK's leading insurance law firms, we act for most of the personal and commercial lines insurance market. Our long-established client relationships and significant volume of litigated work provide a consistent flow of high-quality advocacy opportunities spanning the full claims lifecycle, from OIC and MOJ Portal litigation through to Fast Track, Intermediate Track and Multi-Track cases across personal injury, fraud, credit hire and property damage disputes.

We're keen to hear from talented Barristers and Solicitor Advocates who are looking for more than regular court appearances and who want to play a meaningful role in shaping both litigation and client strategy.

Why HF?
• A supportive, collaborative culture where advocates are valued members of the wider legal team.
• A substantial and consistent pipeline of advocacy work across personal injury, fraud, credit hire and property damage claims, including OIC, MOJ, Fast Track, Intermediate Track and Multi-Track litigation.
• The opportunity to work directly with many of the UK's leading insurers and gain a genuine understanding of their businesses, priorities and market challenges.
• Involvement in strategic discussions with both personal and commercial lines insurers, helping to shape responses to emerging legal, claims and operational trends.
• The chance to help develop and deliver market-leading litigation strategies that are tested, challenged and refined in courts across England and Wales every day.
• Close collaboration with experienced litigators, technical specialists and industry leaders.
• Genuine opportunities for professional development, career progression and leadership within a growing national business.
• Access to a diverse range of advocacy work, ensuring breadth of experience and continued professional growth.

Who We're Looking For?

You will be a Barrister or Solicitor Advocate with excellent advocacy skills and experience in one or more of our core practice areas. Just as importantly, you'll enjoy building strong relationships, working collaboratively and contributing to the continued growth and success of our advocacy offering.
At HF, you'll have the opportunity to do more than advocate individual cases. You'll work closely with some of the most significant insurers in the market, contribute to strategic decision-making, help shape future litigation strategies and play a visible role in the continuing success of both our clients and our business.

Join a team where advocacy is valued, expertise is shared, and your contribution extends far beyond the courtroom.

What's in it for you?

Apart from the competitive salary you'd expect, our package of benefits reflects our values of partnership, innovation, and being real people. We're committed to creating a dynamic workplace where everyone feels supported, empowered, and part of our success.

You'll enjoy:
• 25 days' annual leave (rising to 30 with service) + Holiday Buy Scheme
