About the Role
Currently in your last year of University? Looking for your first role in the legal sector? Why not consider a career with HF!
Our Counter Fraud team are looking for Litigation Executives to join the team based from our office at Media City, Salford Quays.
This is a great role for a Law Graduate who is looking to start their career; initially, you will be assisting Fee Earners, with a long-term view of running your own caseload.
We hire based on potential; if you are enthusiastic and want to learn and develop within an exciting and niche area of law, we are able to offer you the training to succeed!
What will you be doing?
* Undertake direct communication with third parties on the telephone in a professional and effective manner
* Update information into the case management system as requested
* Draft court documents and applications

* Take client statements and review medical records
* Comply with all litigation dates, SLAs, and DPA/GDPR

While experience and qualifications are desirable, we hire based on potential; if you are enthusiastic and want to learn and develop within an exciting and niche area of law, we are able to offer you the training to succeed.

We are not your stereotypical corporate law firm. We have a relaxed dress code; you can be yourself at work. We also offer hybrid working and flexible hours for all.
We continue to place a firm emphasis on investing in our people and promoting internally; we are always looking to invest and grow our people!
We’re always looking to recognize and reward our people for the work they do. Here are just a few of the benefits you’ll have access to, as part of our team:
