Legal resumes should make practice area, bar admission and matter outcomes obvious in the first screen.
Use concrete scope - deal size, docket volume, clients advised - while respecting confidentiality.

Frequently asked questions
Should lawyers use a one-page resume?
Associates often fit one page. Laterals with more matter history can use two pages if every line earns its place.
How do I describe matters without breaking confidentiality?
Use industry, deal type and size ranges. Avoid client names unless they are public and you have clearance to list them.
