Most attorney experience sections read like the engagement letter: “represented clients,” “drafted documents,” “conducted research.” A hiring partner skimming 40 profiles can't tell a first-chair from a file-carrier off bullets like that — and LinkedIn search can't either.
A strong attorney bullet names the practice, the matter stage and one result. The 6 rewrites below cover litigation, transactional, counseling and in-house work — steal the structure, then score your own.
“Took and defended 30+ depositions in commercial cases” is searchable and verifiable. “Handled litigation matters” is neither.
Federal court, AAA, PAGA, Delaware Chancery: the forum or statute in the bullet is the term in the search.
Settlements, deal values, approval rates: a single number does more than a paragraph of duties.
Name the case type and the stage, then close with the outcome.
Took and defended depositions.
Take and defend 30+ depositions in complex commercial and business tort cases, including the expert depositions that anchored two successful summary judgment motions.
Participated in trials.
Second-chaired two federal jury trials and first-chaired five arbitrations, reaching defense verdicts or favorable settlements in 6 of 7 matters through verdict or award.
Handled employment cases.
Defend wage-and-hour and PAGA matters for California employers — 100+ cases resolved, 90% before trial, including a 200-employee class settled for under 5% of the claimed exposure.
Deal size and cycle time are the credibility signals.
Assisted with M&A transactions.
Run M&A deals from LOI through closing — $2B in closed transactions across 25 deals, quarterbacking diligence across six workstreams on timelines as short as 60 days.
Reviewed and drafted contracts.
Negotiate 300+ commercial agreements a year — SaaS MSAs, DPAs, licensing — with a playbook that closes standard deals in under 48 hours without escalation.
Managed the company's legal matters.
Built the contract lifecycle program for a 400-person SaaS company — intake to signature in one system — cutting outside-counsel spend by two-thirds while sales cycle time dropped 30%.
