Many people think they need their resumé to be peppered with illustrious, big-name firms in order to stand out. The irony, though, is that simply having worked for a company with an office in every global financial center doesn’t actually make you a better lawyer. Of course, when it comes to moving upwards in your career, it’s not always about how good you are but about how good you can show yourself to be.
