Templates / Legal & Finance
Formal single column for advocates and legal counsel, with practice areas, enrolment details and matter history.
Example text — you replace it with yours in the builder.
A safe default for legal & finance roles and for any application going through a large employer's careers portal, where the first reader is software rather than a person.
Single column with a linear reading order, conventional section headings, and no layout tables. Contact details sit in the body text rather than a page footer, because footer content lives outside the text layer and many parsers drop it entirely.
Accent colour, font body, font heading, spacing, scale, line, section order, which sections appear, page size (A4 or Letter), and every word of the text. Nothing here is locked behind a payment.
Legal CVs are read for admission, practice areas and the matters you have handled. Counsel is a formal single column with room for enrolment or bar details, practice areas and a matter history.
Figures in [brackets] are placeholders. Use your own, and only ones you could explain in an interview.
