Free CV check for law roles
Score your CV against what law employers actually screen for — qualification, practice area, matter experience, jurisdiction and language — plus the hiring norms of the country you are applying in.
Quick answer
A legal CV is read for admission and jurisdiction first. Before anything else a reviewer wants to know where you are qualified, when you qualified, which practice areas you have real matter experience in, and which languages you can work in. Everything else — deals, cases, publications — supports that.
Your CV is read on this device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to an AI model for the score.

What a law reviewer looks for
- — Qualification and admission (jurisdiction and date)
- — Practice areas, with the strongest first
- — Matter or case experience with your actual role in each
- — Languages, at working-language level
- — Education, including law school and any LLM
- — Publications, pro bono or bar activity where relevant
What gets CVs binned
- — Not stating where and when you were admitted.
- — Listing matters without saying what you personally did on them.
- — Breaching client confidentiality — describe the matter type and size, not the client name, unless it is public.
- — Burying languages at the bottom when the role is cross-border.
- — Design-heavy layouts; firms and institutions expect a plain, readable document.
