You're a lawyer targeting a senior associate or in-house move
You've built real transactional, advisory or litigation experience - but your CV doesn't reflect the commercial value you bring or position you for the next level of seniority.
You're moving from private practice into an in-house role
Making the shift from a firm into a corporate, government or NFP legal team - and your CV needs to reframe your practice experience in the language of a business-facing counsel.
You're getting silence from applications
Your admissions, experience and firm pedigree are strong but you're not progressing. Legal hiring is relationship-driven and competitive - how your matters, clients and commercial impact are framed makes the difference.
We specialise in legal hiring.
Legal hiring is precise, relationship-driven, and highly sensitive to how you're positioned - whether you're moving between firms, transitioning in-house, or stepping into a leadership role. Our legal specialists write to exactly what law firms, in-house teams and legal recruiters look for.
Positioned for your specific move
Private practice to in-house, associate to senior associate, firm to government - each transition has its own positioning logic. We frame yours precisely.
ATS-optimised for legal roles
Legal job postings carry specific keyword patterns across practice areas, jurisdictions and seniority levels. We position your CV to pass automated screening at top-tier firms.
Legal language, not business prose
Our legal specialists write in the language of the profession - deal values, matters managed, practice areas led, client relationships built. Not generic achievements dressed up as legal experience.
Matched with a legal specialist
You won't be assigned a generalist. We match every legal client with a specialist in their area - private practice, in-house, litigation or government.

Frequently asked questions.
Do your CV writers have experience in law?
Yes. Since 2011 we've grown our team to 65 specialist CV writers working across 72+ industries, and we've written more than 60,000 CVs for over 920 professions. We match you with the specialist who has the most relevant legal experience for your role.
How long does it take?
Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation call, which is usually scheduled for the next business day after you book. Express 1 and 2 business day turnarounds are also available.
Who will be working on my CV, and how do we communicate?
A specialist consultant from our team of New Zealand job market specialists works with you from start to finish. It starts with a one-to-one consultation by phone or Zoom, typically around an hour. After that you can reach your consultant by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account.
Will my CV get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?
Yes. Most employers and job boards use ATS software to filter applications, and most applications are filtered by these systems before a recruiter sees them. Every CV we write is ATS-optimised with the keywords and formatting your target roles are screened for.
Can I request revisions?
Yes. Revisions are unlimited. Your consultant delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, and we keep going until your CV is exactly right.

CV People legal specialist vs generic and AI CV services.
