Dear Mr. Stark,
As a highly skilled solicitor, I read your posting for a new solicitor with interest. My experience aligns well with the qualifications you are seeking at Stark and Simmons, LLP, in particular my role as solicitor with Tanner Donnelly, and I am certain I would make a valuable addition to your organisation.
With more than 12 years’ experience as a solicitor, I am adept in case preparation, client consultations, and courtroom litigation. Moreover, whilst my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate leadership and interpersonal abilities, I excel at getting results.
Highlights of my accomplishments include:
Successfully defended distribution company in a County Court appeal.
Obtained favourable settlements for 85% of cases.
Won £2M settlement in one intellectual property case.
In addition to my experience and personal qualities, I have a solid educational foundation and a passion for consumer law. I am extremely enthusiastic about Stark and Simmons’ focus on copyright law and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your leading reputation in the field.
Please review my attached CV for additional details regarding my expertise and career achievements. I will follow up to request an appointment to discuss how my experience and background meets your needs.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Lindsay Burrell
