all areas of law
What text follows this term?
Areas of law, i.e. tort law, public law, land law, criminal law, property law, shipping law, IP law, family law, corporate law, etc. etc. Where there is human activity, there is law to govern it, basically.
How all the multiple areas of law (a brief list I have lists about 30 very broad areas) can be covered in a three-year bachelor's degree is not really the point. That's what the French text says.
Areas of law:

"The full service nature of the firm means we can provide complete solutions to complex problems across all ***areas of law***".

2.3 million-plus Google hits for "all areas of law", for the little that might be worth!

Note from asker:
| Nothing comes after this sentence. I guess your translation seems legit taking into consideration the context and my understanding of what is mentioned in the CV itself. Thanks. |

Thanks Chris! Yes, strangely expressed -- I suspect that the degree-holder may have added the "tous droits confondus" to massage the truth a bit.

Eliza Hall
: This sounds like the best interpretation. FR law degrees normally focus on one area (droit privé vs. publique, etc.), so this CV clarifies that this degree isn't like that. https://www.village-justice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2...

A two-prong approach, depending on the register gingerly but subtly opted for: legalistic or - hackneyed - journalistic style.
If the 'droits' were in fact rights, then I would have suggested 'divers entitlements' - not swimmers' passes but Anglo-Irish legal for diverse or diversifed rights.
