Lawyer / Attorney Resume Template — Ivy Design

Lawyer and attorney resumes need to show bar admission, practice area depth, and a track record of matters handled from intake to resolution. Recruiters and hiring partners scan for jurisdiction, years of post-qualification experience, and notable case or deal outcomes within seconds. The Ivy template — ivy League academic style — zero-risk ATS for law, finance, and academia. — pairs that with a layout built to get noticed by both recruiters and ATS software.

Lawyer / Attorney Resume — Frequently Asked Questions

Should I list every case I have worked on as a lawyer?

No — select 4-6 representative matters that show range and seniority, and describe your specific role (lead counsel, second chair, drafting support) rather than listing every filing.

How do I show courtroom experience if I mostly settle cases?

Quantify pre-trial work instead: number of depositions taken, motions argued, settlements negotiated and their value, since most litigation careers involve far more negotiation than trial time.
