Dear Mr. Jones

I am excited to submit my application for the position of Junior Associate Attorney at Legato Network. Currently, I am a law clerk at William & Collins Co., where I have honed my legal skills and developed a passion for immigration law during my J.D. studies at the New York College of Law. I am set to graduate next week with a 3.91 GPA and am preparing to take the Massachusetts State bar exam in May.

Over the past seven years as a paralegal at William & Collins Co., I managed a substantial caseload of 70 lawsuits, earned my certification as a Certified E-Discovery Specialist, and trained the firm's attorneys in using the Symantec e-Discovery framework. This experience has provided me with valuable insights into the intricacies of legal research and writing, e-discovery processes, client interviews, trial preparation, and case management.

In addition to my legal experience, my proficiency in written and spoken Spanish has often seen me act as a court interpreter. This skill has been particularly beneficial in my transition from corporate litigation to my aspiration of becoming an immigration attorney. I believe that my linguistic abilities, coupled with my legal expertise, position me uniquely to contribute effectively to your team and assist your diverse clientele.

I am particularly drawn to Legato Network due to its commitment to providing exceptional legal services and its focus on immigration law. I am impressed by your firm's dedication to advocating for clients and navigating the complexities of immigration processes. I am eager to bring my background and skills to your team, where I can continue to grow professionally and make meaningful contributions to your mission.

Moreover, my hands-on experience and academic achievements have equipped me with a solid foundation in law. I am confident that my ability to handle complex legal issues, combined with my dedication to client advocacy, will allow me to excel as a Junior Associate Attorney at Legato Network. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with your esteemed team and contribute to your firm's success.

I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in further detail and explore how I can be an asset to Legato Network.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

James R. Lawson
