As a Property Insurance Solicitor, you will be: Reading and understanding documents (e.g. insurance policies, leases, building contracts, professional files). Conducting investigations, working closely with policyholders (residential and commercial), loss adjusters, counsel and experts. Research, including analysis of case law, statutes and commentary in legal textbooks. Producing high quality written advice and correspondence. Interacting effectively with clients, and other third parties, by telephone, video calls, face to face (as well as in correspondence). Conducting litigation, typically in the Technology and Construction Court or Commercial Court. Effective file management, including disciplined time recording and strong general financial hygiene. About you You will be a hardworking, proactive, and highly organised professional who brings energy and commitment to every task. You will communicate with clarity and confidence-both in writing and in person-and thrive whether you're working independently or collaborating within a team. Naturally curious and eager to grow, you're always looking to expand your technical knowledge, and you approach challenges with a thoughtful, critical mindset that helps you understand, question, and improve the information and processes around you.

Full time
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. We are looking for a qualified Solicitor (0 4 year PQE) with litigation experience to join our fast growing Birmingham based Property Risks and Coverage team. The team acts for a number of the UK's leading property insurers, and deals with all manner of claims arising out of fires, floods, escapes of water, storms, explosions, vehicle impacts, and any other way in which properties get damaged. Some of the team's work is high profile, and high value (running into multi millions of pounds). As a Property Insurance Solicitor, you will ideally have previous experience in property damage, or an overlapping practice area such as professional indemnity, construction or commercial litigation. The role will involve a mixture of supporting Partners on the team's highest value cases and also handling a caseload of multi track property damage claims (both claimant and defendant work). Progression This is an exciting opportunity to join our friendly team - currently 8 Partners and a total of c.70 fee earners - and support our ambitious growth plans. As a firm, HF is concerned with people, not just lawyers. Our team reflects that in spades. We help and encourage employees at all levels not only to develop their legal skills, but also to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues. Our working environment is interactive, supportive and highly conducive to career development and progression. As a Property Insurance Solicitor, you will be: Reading and understanding documents (e.g. insurance policies, leases, building contracts, professional files). Conducting investigations, working closely with policyholders (residential and commercial), loss adjusters, counsel and experts. Research, including analysis of case law, statutes and commentary in legal textbooks. Producing high quality written advice and correspondence. Interacting effectively with clients, and other third parties, by telephone, video calls, face to face (as well as in correspondence). Conducting litigation, typically in the Technology and Construction Court or Commercial Court. Effective file management, including disciplined time recording and strong general financial hygiene. About you You will be a hardworking, proactive, and highly organised professional who brings energy and commitment to every task. You will communicate with clarity and confidence-both in writing and in person-and thrive whether you're working independently or collaborating within a team. Naturally curious and eager to grow, you're always looking to expand your technical knowledge, and you approach challenges with a thoughtful, critical mindset that helps you understand, question, and improve the information and processes around you.
