PE Partner, International Law Firm

Astral’s consultants are great legal recruiters. They recently assisted with a move to a leading firm and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. They possess an in-depth understanding of the legal market and took time to thoroughly understand my career goals and aspirations, ensuring that each opportunity was aligned with my career objectives. I am pleased to recommend Astral to any in need of a legal recruiter in the London market.
