Anakin Seal Legal Recruitment
Anakin Seal is our legal recruitment
division recruiting fee-earners at all levels, from equity partners through to legal
executives and paralegals. Established in 1993, it has grown to become one of the
leading consultancies in its field, with offices in
Manchester, Leeds,
Birmingham and London.
At Anakin Seal we understand the importance of recruitment in the
legal market place. The long-term viability and success for any legal practice depends
on maximising its financial strength by recruiting the right fee-earners at the
right level.
We are able to tailor our service to your existing or future requirements. Working
alongside clients, we aim to develop a continuing relationship where we can use
our knowledge of the legal market place to ensure clients secure the services of
the right individuals. Anakin Seal has helped achieve this for law firms of all
sizes, from large commercial firms to smaller general practices. To some we provide
a 'pure' recruitment service, whilst others benefit from our broader consultancy
approach which covers a variety of recruitment and personnel issues. Our high profile
and success in other markets including insurance, financial services, pensions and
IT also supports our performance and service levels.
Anakin Seal also enjoys strong relationships with its candidates, helping them gain
greater control over their careers. We provide general advice and guidance on salary
and career progression as well as more specific advice on successfully securing
a new position. We offer a pro-active, confidential approach using our local market
knowledge and lateral thinking to ensure that we source all suitable vacancies for
our candidates.
We provide our candidates with up-to-date details on client firms including: culture,
history, structure, background information on key individuals and exactly what each
firm may offer, giving them the opportunity to make an informed decision.
Partner appointments
We can guide lawyers at both salaried and equity level through the often complex
route to a partner appointment, and offer assistance on negotiating a financial
package, restrictive covenants, client followings, and extrication from partnership
deeds.
Assistant/Associate Solicitors
From newly qualified solicitors to senior associates, we provide a comprehensive
career planning and recruitment service, giving an objective overview of the marketplace
in relation to individual requirements and opportunities.
Legal Executive Division
Anakin Seal launched the first national division dedicated to the recruitment of
non-solicitor fee-earning staff. This incorporates fellows, members and trainees
of the Institute of Legal Executives, paralegals and other individuals with fee-earning
experience.
Specialist Services
Our consultants offer a wide range of specialist services to both clients and candidates
which complement our core recruitment business. These include advice on salaries,
offers and negotiations, current market trends, staff retention, staff management
techniques and general HR issues. In addition, we are able to offer practical advice
and guidance to firms seeking to merge with or acquire another practice.
In-House Lawyers
Anakin Seal offers considerable expertise in recruiting for in-house legal roles.
Our consultants have recruited Company Secretarial staff, Legal Compliance Managers
and Heads of Legal, as well as more usual solicitor and fee-earning roles. We understand
the differing demands of an in-house position and accordingly are well placed to
advise both candidates and clients.
