You don't necessarily need to rewrite your whole CV for every firm (as the cover letter is usually the way you will show interest towards the firm) - however, you can selectively emphasise the parts of your experience that match what that firm values.For example, if a firm is known for strong transactional work, I would highlight any experiences that show commercial awareness, teamwork, or involvement in business-focused / commercial roles. If a firm emphasises pro bono or community impact, you could give more space to volunteering or people-focused experiences. Tailoring is really just about highlighting which skills, achievements, and responsibilities you have that align with that firm's culture and strengthsI'd think of it as shifting the focus of your CV, rather than rewriting the whole thing - the core CV will stay the same, but you may include / exclude certain experiences to make it relevant to what the firm prioritises (especially if you don't have space to include them all).I hope that assists! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
