Transactional and commercial law CVs positioned around deal value, complexity and client relationships.
Legal CVs Built Around Qualification, Practice Area and PQE
Law firms screen CVs against very specific reference points — qualification route, PQE and practice area experience. We write CVs for paralegals through to partners that present your legal career clearly and credibly, in the structure recruiters and law firm hiring panels expect to see.

Where we specialise
CVs Across Legal Practice Areas
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Case experience presented around outcomes and complexity, with your specific role on each matter made clear.
Family, Criminal & Private Client
Client-facing legal CVs that balance case complexity with the interpersonal and advisory skills these areas demand.
Why it's different
A Case List Isn't the Same as a Career Story
Many legal CVs list matters worked on without showing progression, complexity or outcome. We structure your CV around your qualification route and PQE clearly at the top, then build out your experience by complexity and results rather than a flat chronological list of cases.
Whether you're a paralegal building toward qualification or a senior associate positioning for partnership, the structure changes — and we write it to match where you actually are.
