Litigation Attorney Resume Sample

A litigation attorney resume must serve as a testimony to your skills, abilities, and experience. So when drafting it, consider it as a formal statement that narrates and showcases factual information related to your career. The resume must present you as an experienced candidate to represent clients in the court for civil and criminal proceedings, conduct strong research, interrogate and negotiate with the opposite parties, identify and interview witnesses, and coordinate with the police personnel. It has to lay out your accomplishments and not just the duties. In short, the litigation attorney resume must convince the employers that you are the one who can add value to their organization and make their decision in your favor.
