Why work at Parslows

In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of law, aspiring lawyers often find themselves at a crossroads when contemplating the best environment to kickstart their legal career. Should they opt for the bustling corridors of a large law firm or the cosy confines of a smaller one? While both choices have their merits, there’s a certain charm and positivity associated with working in a small law firm that can make all the difference. In this article, we will explore the positive aspects of practicing law in a small law firm and how Parslows, an exemplary firm of this nature, can set the stage for a fulfilling and rewarding legal journey.

  1. A Tight-Knit and Supportive Community

In a small law firm like Parslows, you’re not just a face in the crowd; you’re a valued member of a close-knit family. The friendly and supportive environment in a smaller setting promotes a strong sense of camaraderie among colleagues. Whether you need assistance with a case or a friendly chat to lighten the workload, you can count on your teammates to have your back. The warm and welcoming atmosphere fosters a sense of belonging, making it easier to enjoy your work and form lasting professional relationships.

 

  1. Opportunities for Real Responsibility

Big opportunities often come in small packages, and that rings true for small law firms like Parslows too! Unlike larger firms, where junior lawyers may be confined to research or documentation, Parslows empowers lawyers with significant responsibilities from the get-go. Picture yourself working on critical aspects of cases, engaging directly with clients, and being an integral part of strategic decision-making. Such opportunities boost confidence, nurture leadership skills, and accelerate professional growth, making every day at work truly fulfilling.

 

  1. Personalized Mentorship and Guidance

At Parslows, you’re not just a number on a payroll. The limited number of lawyers means that you get the personal attention you deserve. Seasoned lawyers and partners take a keen interest in your development and provide personalised mentorship to help you hone your legal skills. With their valuable guidance, you can navigate the intricacies of the legal profession more confidently, becoming a better lawyer with each passing day.

 

  1. Direct Client Interaction and Building Relationships

When you work at Parslows, you don’t have to wait in line for client interactions. Here, client engagement is not just a privilege; it’s a way of life. The face-to-face interactions with clients provide a deeper understanding of their needs and concerns, leading to more meaningful legal solutions. Building these personal connections fosters trust and loyalty, as clients appreciate the genuine care and attention they receive from their lawyers.

 

  1. Work-Life Balance and Flexibility

It’s no secret that the legal profession can be demanding, but at Parslows, small law firm advantages shine through in the form of a better work-life balance. With fewer bureaucratic hurdles, the firm can be more accommodating when it comes to work arrangements. For example in the summer we close early every Friday and close the office at Christmas.  This balance allows you to invest in your personal life without compromising on the quality of your legal practice. After all, a happy lawyer is a more effective advocate.

 

  1. Diverse Legal Experiences

At Parslows, variety is the spice of life! The diverse range of cases and practice areas allows lawyers to be versatile in their approach to legal challenges. You get to dip your toes into various aspects of law, cultivating a well-rounded skill set that can be invaluable throughout your career.

“We knew from the outset that you are tenacious and willing to go the extra mile”

Dear Mel, please forgive us for a tardy response to your management of the sale of one house and the purchase of a new one. We knew from the outset that you are tenacious and willing to go the extra mile for your clients for which we are very grateful. We cannot mention your name without mentioning Sue who was always well informed, soft and gentle and also the other Sue from the financial department who kept us up to date when there was a hiccup. Our blood pressure at the time was sky high and when the ‘all clear’ was sounded we were emotionally drained, but very happily drained. Thank you and also both the Sues for a very satisfactory outcome to our white knuckle ride.

“Help and support…”

‘Dear Barbara

I just wanted to write to thank you for all your help and support during the last year through my divorce proceedings.

As you know it has had its challenges but throughout the process you have been absolutely fantastic. You have explained things to me in a clear and non legal jargon way that I could understand and have been my calm when I went through the storm and kept me steady when I wasn't feeling stable at all.
You have been efficient and knowledgeable and have advised me in a way that suited my needs. Throughout the whole process you have supported me which has helped get me through this difficult time.

In fact all the staff I have come into contact with at Parslows have been wonderful.
A special mention also to Edward who helped me when I got flustered with the online payment system at the beginning.

I am looking forward to bringing more business to you when I am able to sell the house and finally move properly on.’

“…kind and always responded so quickly.”

Many thanks to everyone for all time spent on the sale of the house and all the probably stupid questions that I have been asking but you have really I think gone out of your way to be as kind and always responded so quickly.
Many thanks for everything.
