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.

He helped me prepare for the interviews, while giving me prompt and thorough feedback. He supported me during the decision-making process, helping me weigh up pros and cons and ultimately encouraging me to be brave and make the jump (which I am grateful for). He has always been professional, helpful and genuine and he has been a pleasure to work with. If I decide to move again, I will be coming straight to you Daniel, thank you for everything!”</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
