Marcus Delacroix, Corporate Attorney

Marcus Delacroix is a corporate attorney with nine years in mergers and acquisitions at Kirkland & Ellis and Latham & Watkins. The resume is written for a senior associate or counsel position, and deal value does the talking.

Why this resume works

  • The summary gives the aggregate transaction value closed and the sectors covered, which is how law-firm recruiters compare M&A associates.
  • The current role quantifies the deals led, their value and the team supervised, so seniority is shown rather than claimed.
  • Bar admissions are listed under certifications with their years, which a legal hiring manager checks before reading anything else.
  • Both degrees include the honours earned, and the skills list uses bars with the transactional skills rated highest.
