About us
Our lawyers are experts in their field and you would expect that. But we’re also people - with a passion for helping our customers, and each other, achieve the best possible outcomes. We won’t be beaten on customer service, on innovation and on building long-lasting relationships that deliver results. As a leading provider of legal and claims solutions to the UK and Ireland insurance markets, we’ve been disrupting the status quo since 1969. Since then we’ve expanded, and continue to expand, in all areas of commercial law with our well-established and fast growing team. At HF we do things differently, with a forward-thinking, innovative approach that’s genuinely built around a focus on our client’s needs – not our own. Our customers, including some of the biggest insurance companies in the country, work with us for that very reason. We work with our clients every day, to help them realise their potential for sustained growth, and deliver the best possible solutions for what they tell us they need. Not what we think they need. Not a typical law firm.

The first HF Aviation Symposium really took off! We reached new heights by gathering industry experts from across the UK and Europe for a day filled with valuable discussions and insights. From exploring the role of CCTV in aviation to improving experiences for PRM (Passengers with Reduced Mobility), we covered key topics shaping the future of the industry. Colleagues from our Commercial and Employment teams also shared their expertise throughout the day, while our tech division, HighFive, introduced their AI project and its potential to enhance support in aviation claims. A huge thank you to our insightful speakers and guests who made this event so memorable. Here’s to future collaborations and innovations!
