Who it's for

Four career stages, four ways to present yourself

A trainee lawyer doesn't highlight the same things as a partner. You choose the sections that matter at your stage.

01

Trainee lawyer

Final internship, first associate role.

  • Thesis, legal clinic and moot courts put forward
  • Internships described by the work entrusted to you
02

Associate

Moving firms, stepping up to senior.

  • Matters presented by stake, amount and role
  • Practice areas visible at the top of the resume
03

Counsel and partner

Lateral partner move, partnership application.

  • Client base and revenue developed, confidentiality kept
  • Teams managed and publications highlighted
04

In-house counsel

Legal departments, moving from a firm to a company.

  • Experience translated into business impact
  • Contracts, compliance and litigation clearly separated

What a partner reads first

A legal resume is scanned, not read

Law firm recruiters spend little time on each application. AvocatCV puts the expected information where the eye lands.

  1. Bar and admission date

    Your year of admission conveys seniority better than a number of years of experience.

  2. Practice areas

    Two or three precise areas beat a list covering all of business law.

  3. Matters described by their stake

    Type of deal, amount, role. Never a client's name.

  4. Working languages

    State how you use them: negotiation, drafting, advocacy.

How it works

From your current resume to a send-ready PDF

  1. 01

    Start from your resume or a template

    Drop your resume as a PDF: the AI rebuilds sections, experiences and dates. You can also start from the sample lawyer resume and replace it with your own background.

Client confidentiality

Present your matters without exposing your clients

Your resume passes through several hands. Describing a deal by its stake shows your level without revealing anything.

Avoid

Advised Durand Industries on its acquisition by a US fund.

Prefer

Advised a family-owned industrial group (1,200 employees) on its sale to an investment fund, enterprise value €450m.

The AI assistant only works from your text: it adds no names to it.

FAQ

Your questions

Does my resume stay confidential?

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.

Can the AI invent matters or overstate my role?

No. The assistant only rewrites what you wrote: it tightens sentences, clarifies the structure and flags missing information. Nothing is invented.

Can I import my current resume?

Yes. Drop your resume as a PDF: sections, experiences and dates are rebuilt in the editor. All that's left is to review and adjust.

Is it free?

Creating and editing your resume is free, no credit card. Some AI features and watermark-free downloads are paid; prices are shown before any payment.

Does it work for in-house counsel?

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.
