Hi
one of my work experience was from the firm which does not do any business.
As time passes, the CEO of the firm has been changed and it is a very small law firm in my home country within 5 lawyers.

The Thing is that
I wrote the firm's name : Sebit Law, while its legal name is Sebit Partners.

Well I did not submit some of the firms' application but to some law firm I have already submitted as Sebit Law.

Would this thing be a critical point in my resume?

    I don't see that as a big issue. Later down the line, if a firm wants to run a background check, you can clarify that the name is different.
