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
