Tips
Track record: People come to Legal Advisors because they are considered to be the most reliable and experienced professionals dealing with the law. A good way to demonstrate your experience in the legal field is to mention the number of cases that you have successfully been involved with. For example, you could state on your CV; “Advised more than 200 individuals, ranging from students to business directors, on a wide variety of legal issues.” This demonstrates to the prospective employer that you highly experienced in giving legal assistance to clients from all backgrounds.
