Law firms · House style
How do law firms keep lawyer bios consistent across offices?
They agree one bio template, with a fixed order of sections, a length and a style for describing matters, and then convert every existing bio into it rather than editing bios one by one for each pitch. The template sits with business development, each office supplies its lawyers' CVs or current bios, and the conversion is done centrally. Formatix AI does that conversion in bulk: every CV or old bio comes out in the firm's template, for business development to check.

Why bios drift
Bios are written by different people, in different offices, for different purposes: the website, a directory submission, a pitch last year. Lateral hires bring bios from their previous firm. By the time a cross-office pitch is assembled, the team section has as many styles as it has lawyers.
What a firm-wide standard includes
- One template, with headings in a fixed order.
- A target length for pitch bios, and a shorter one for panel tables.
- A style for representative matters: what to state (sector, type, value) and what never to state without consent.
- Rules for admissions, languages and titles across jurisdictions.
- Who owns the template, and how offices submit updates.
Converting the back catalogue
The hard part is not the standard; it is converting hundreds of existing bios into it. Upload your template once and the bios or CVs as a batch, and Formatix fills each into the template in about thirty seconds, keeping your fonts and layout. It places only what each source contains. Data is processed in the UK and EU under the UK GDPR, and uploaded documents are not used to train AI models. New accounts get 10 free credits, valid for 14 days, with no card.
