A resume read in seconds
- For every associate opening, applications pile up on a partner's desk.
- If your bar, year of admission and practice areas do not stand out at once, the reading stops there.
Lawyers, trainee lawyers and in-house counsel
Land your next associate role in corporate M&A, litigation, employment law, tax, arbitration, restructuring, public law, competition
The resume editor built for legal professionals. Bar admission, practice areas and matters can be read in seconds; the AI reviews, tailors and translates from your own text, and invents nothing.
Free to create, no credit card
Prepare your application for the most demanding firms
Landing an associate role comes down to one page. Here is why.
Professional secrecy makes it harder
- You cannot name your clients, and it is hard to show the scale of your matters.
- Out of caution, many stay vague and undersell their experience.
Templates made for other jobs
- Skill gauges, coloured columns, round photos: generic templates look out of place in a law firm.
- The legal world expects a sober, dense, well-structured document.
Nobody teaches you this
- Bar school prepares you for the law, not for applying.
- Final internship, first associate role, changing firms, partnership: each step calls for a different way of presenting yourself.
Everything a flawless lawyer resume needs, on a single page.
Six tools, one principle: everything starts from your text. The AI adds no matter, no figure and no client name.

Import your current resume
Drop your resume as a PDF or an image: sections, experiences and dates are rebuilt in the editor.
You can also start from one of 40 legal resume examples and replace it step by step.
A successful lawyer resume rests on three requirements. AvocatCV is built around them.
01Readable at a glance
The partner's eyeBar, year of admission and practice areas at the top of the page: your seniority is read before your career path.
02Discreet by design
Professional secrecyYour matters described by their nature, stakes and your role, never by the client's name. The AI adds none.
03Precise down to the figure
Proof rather than adjectivesType of deal, amount, role played: each bullet demonstrates a level instead of claiming it.
The AvocatCV method
On its own, each rule helps. Applied together — in the examples, while writing and at every review — they give a resume a partner reads to the end.
Who it's for
Four career stages, four ways to present yourself
A trainee lawyer does not highlight the same things as a partner. You choose the sections that matter at your stage.
01
Trainee lawyer
Final internship, first associate position.
- Dissertation, legal clinic and moot court competitions highlighted
- Internships described by the tasks entrusted
A generic template is never neutral.
In a law firm, form is already an argument.

Your questions, straight answers.
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
Yes. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your resume with recruiters or third parties without your consent, and you can delete your account at any time from the “My account” page.
No. The assistant only rewrites what you wrote: it tightens sentences, clarifies the structure and flags missing information. Nothing is invented.
Yes. Drop your resume as a PDF or an image: sections, experiences and dates are rebuilt in the editor. All that's left is to review and adjust.
Creating, editing and saving your resume is free, with no credit card, and so are the AI features (scored review, tailoring to a job offer, translation). Downloading the PDF is free with a watermark. For a watermark-free PDF, you pay per download or take a Premium subscription (€9.99 per month or €24.99 for 3 months, cancel any time), which gives you unlimited downloads.
Yes. The structure works for a law firm as well as a legal department: you choose which sections to highlight, and the assistant adapts the wording to the target offer.
Yes. Translation covers eight languages, including English and French, and keeps the layout. Then review the terms specific to your practice: some legal concepts have no exact equivalent.
The trainee lawyer example highlights the dissertation, legal clinic, moot court competitions and internships, described by the tasks entrusted. You start from that structure and complete it.
