CV templates

A CV is a key personal marketing tool that should reflect our level of experience, expertise and responsibility / accountability, and the following two templates, accompanied with some suggested tips, have been designed to reflect this.

Though we focus on placing senior lawyers, we have also provided a CV template for junior & mid-level lawyers for their benefit too.

In this context, junior & mid-level lawyers refers to those up to, and including, the Associate level, with those at the Senior Associate level and above recommended to use the senior lawyers template.

Word versions of these templates have been included to facilitate easy formatting and are initially best viewed on a larger (e.g. desktop) screen.
