Founded by a former lawyer Daniel Chatfield, UNCOVER understands the industry better than anybody else. We’ve been recruiting in the Legal Risk & Compliance profession for over 7 years, building great relationships across the sector.
After training and qualifying as a solicitor in South Africa, Daniel relocated to the UK in 2015. He joined an international recruitment firm, where he spent six years leading the Legal Governance team. During this time he worked with the majority of top international and national law firms in sourcing and placing risk and compliance professionals at all levels including Analysts, Lawyers, Directors of Risk, and General Counsels.
Daniel set up UNCOVER as he spotted a gap in the market to set up a specialist agency that could help clients and candidates uncover their potential.
