Job Introduction

The Motor Fraud team at DAC Beachcroft is a highly specialized and award-winning group of lawyers dedicated to handling both pre-litigated and litigated technical claims. With a strong reputation for robustly defending motor fraud claims, the team takes a proactive approach to tackling organizations and professional enablers behind the claims, particularly in our projects and organized fraud specialisms. We work collaboratively with our clients and agencies such as IFED and the Regional Fraud teams, adopting a reactive and proactive investigation approach. We welcome applications on a permanent and fixed-term basis for this role.

About You
  • An experienced lawyer (Paralegal/Litigation Executive, Legal Executive, or Solicitor), preferably with a strong litigation background
  • Expertise in fraud is beneficial, but not essential, as the successful candidate will be fully trained in dealing with fraud cases
  • The ability to work independently without close supervision but also as a team player with a collegiate approach to knowledge sharing and problem-solving
  • Knowledge of credit hire, overseas claims, and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) claims is beneficial
