David Carr
David is the Divisional Director of Anakin Seal, responsible for running the business nationally. He studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of York before completing the CPE and LPC. He qualified as a Solicitor and then moved into in legal recruitment in 2006. He has focussed on placing qualified solicitors into top 100 UK law firms in London, Yorkshire and the North West of England
Why did you join Anakin Seal Legal
I joined Anakin Seal as it is a well established brand in specialist legal recruitment with a strong national presence. Additionally it benefits from being part of the IPS group and as a specialist in insurance related legal recruitment this was very appealing. It’s an exciting time to join the business as we are looking to grow significantly over the coming years
What are your interests outside of work
Outside of work I swim to keep fit, enjoy going to the cinema and listening to music.
