Photo
No photo

The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart.

Single-column flow — the safest structure for parsers. Every section runs top to bottom in a single column. The reading order and the underlying text order are identical, which makes this the most predictable structure for both a human reader and a parser.

How the Legal ATS template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

Single-column flow

Every section runs top to bottom in a single column. The reading order and the underlying text order are identical, which makes this the most predictable structure for both a human reader and a parser.

Typography

Set in serif typography. It eases reading through longer blocks of text and carries the register expected in academic, legal and executive applications.

Section headings

Section headings are set in spaced capitals — distinct from the body without needing any graphic element.

Use of colour

The template is entirely colourless. It looks identical on a black-and-white printer and in PDF viewers without a colour profile.

Density

Line spacing is balanced — the middle ground between readability and fit for most applications.

How skills are presented

Skills are listed on one line separated by dots. It is the safest form for keyword matching.

When not to choose this template

  • Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
  • Creative roles where visual presentation forms part of the assessment
  • Very long career histories running past three pages

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the Legal ATS template

Is the Legal ATS template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “excellent”. The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

Does the Legal ATS template include a photo?

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart. If you are applying to employers who expect a photo, pick one of the templates that carries it as part of the design.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the Legal ATS template?

This template is deliberately colourless. If you want colour, pick one of the coloured variants in the same family.
