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.

About the team

Our counter-fraud department is the biggest of its type in the market, running over 700 cases to contested trials each year and winning most of them. We have secured over 2,000 findings of fundamental dishonesty since the rule was introduced (more than any other firm) and, in the process, recovered over £1m in legal costs for our clients every single year.

We do things differently. We innovate and go the extra mile and aim to make a positive difference to society with our no-nonsense approach to fraud. We disrupt fraudsters and stop them in their tracks, using the latest tools and technology not only to identify and fight fraud, but to reduce the cost of fighting it and, crucially, to help prevent it in the first place.
