I thought my CV was fine—until I worked with LawGrad Launch. They helped me restructure it completely, making every section clearer and more tailored to the legal sector. The difference was huge. Within weeks, I started getting interviews from firms that hadn’t responded before. It gave me a real boost in confidence.

The feedback I received on my scholarship application was incredibly detailed and practical. It helped me reshape my personal statement into something much more focused and impactful. I walked into the interview feeling prepared and confident—and I’m thrilled to say I was awarded the scholarship.
