LegalEdge—three appointments

Legal services provider bolsters the team by three

Legal service provider LegalEdge has announced three appointments, with Angela Tang, Anindita Doig and Anuj Desai joining the team.

Angela Tang will take up the role of consultant legal counsel and legal designer, a relatively new position which focuses on applying design principles and thinking to legal information and processes in order to prevent and solve legal issues. Her work for LegalEdge has included the creation of a bespoke ‘legal health check tool’ to help businesses to identify potential risks and improve processes.

Anindita Doig has joined the team as consultant legal counsel and angel investor, and will focus on developing its range of services for fast-growth businesses and start-ups. Since joining, Anindita has developed ‘Pitch Prep’, a service for businesses which provides support on creating effective pitches for prospective investors.

The third new appointment, Anuj Desai, has also joined as consultant legal counsel. He has 15 years of experience as a strategic business adviser, with particular expertise in the emerging legal cannabis industry. He hosts the podcast The Cannabis Conversation, which has more than 80 episodes interviewing a wide range of thought leaders around the world on matters relating to medical cannabis, CBD and hemp.

Donna Sewell, CEO at LegalEdge, said: ‘We’ve had a surprisingly strong and positive year considering it’s been such an unusual and difficult one for many. We’re really pleased that our team keeps growing despite the challenges many businesses are facing. Angela, Anindita and Anuj are each extremely talented lawyers with their own unique skills and experience. They’re already providing invaluable services to our clients through their individual areas of expertise.’

Founded in 2009 by Donna Sewell and Helen Goldberg, LegalEdge focuses on providing fast-growth companies with access to in-house legal services through a team of experienced lawyers.
