Nadia Osei, Litigation Solicitor
Nadia Osei is a commercial litigation solicitor with seven years across two firms and a year as a judicial assistant, applying for a senior associate post. The resume is written for a partner who wants trial experience, matter volumes and outcomes before a list of practice areas.
Why this resume works
- The summary counts the trials second-chaired and the applications authored, which is how litigation experience is measured at interview.
- Each role gives a matter value, a matter count or a result in every bullet, from the 14.2 million pound trial to the summary judgment that removed a group action.
- The judicial assistant year is kept as its own role, because a year drafting for the bench is a credential a litigation partner will weigh.
- The key skills column reads as four full lines (admission, practice areas, tools, languages) rather than chips, so nothing a legal recruiter searches for is abbreviated.
