Subject: Application for Associate Advocate

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Associate Advocate position at your chambers. I am enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi and have 3 years of experience in civil and commercial litigation.

At Kapoor and Associates I drafted more than 90 pleadings, researched case law for 40 matters and appeared in over 120 hearings. I managed the case diary for 60 files without missing a date.

I would value the chance to learn and contribute to your team. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,
Simon Kendall
