Motor Fraud Lawyers/Experienced Paralegals | Remote (UK based) - #2076555

Your new firm
Our client is a Top 20 law firm with offices across the globe. They are currently recruiting Solicitors, Chartered Legal Executives or Experienced Paralegals to join their market-leading Motor Fraud team nationwide. This role offers office-based, hybrid or remote working (UK based). However, you may need to attend an office occasionally for training and client events as required (circa four times per year). The firm is expanding their market-leading Fraud team and is looking for passionate legal professionals to be part of something exceptional, specifically within their Motor Fraud team. This 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, they tackle technical cases and work closely with clients and law enforcement agencies like IFED and the Regional Fraud Teams to disrupt organised fraud networks.

Your new role
As part of the Motor Fraud team, you'll manage claims involving dishonest or criminal activity in motor insurance-such as staged accidents, exaggerated injuries, false vehicle damage, and inflated hire or repair costs. These cases often involve individuals, organised crime groups, or professionals within the claims supply chain.
The 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 their clients' anti-fraud objectives. You will take ownership of a caseload of predominantly litigated claims, all with fraud concerns. You'll work across multiple clients under Delegated and Non-Delegated authority agreements, with the support of experienced leaders.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a solicitor, CILEX lawyer or experienced paralegal with a sound knowledge of the Civil Procedure Rules. You will ideally have defendant EL/PL, RTA or credit hire experience; some experience of fraud would be beneficial, but is not essential, as the successful candidate will be fully trained to appropriately defend fraudulent insurance claims. You will have experience of handling litigated files, preferably gained within a personal injury or similar environment.

What you'll get in return
This is a great opportunity to join a top firm where you can enjoy the flexibility of remote working and a competitive salary. Training will be provided. The role offers high levels of flexibility and a great work-life balance, a well-rounded remuneration package (which includes private medical insurance, income protection insurance and discounted gym membership, amongst many other benefits) and opportunities for growth and progression, including professional funding.
