There are many different paths into your chosen career and having a future in the law is no exception.
As an employer, we look to recruit our colleagues based on merit, work experience and work ethic, not purely on qualifications. We are passionate about offering our colleagues career development while on the job, which is why apprenticeships are an ideal way to start your career with Parker Bullen.
Why Parker Bullen?
As an established law firm in Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire, we have been working with local businesses, individuals and families for over 200 years. Since 2021, we have grown from a firm of two offices in Andover and Salisbury, to five offices, now also based in Romsey, Totton and Witney.
We are lawyers doing things differently. Our clients often tell us it is not what we do, but how we do it that makes the difference. Whether we are protecting a business, guiding a family through change, or helping someone secure their future, we focus on delivering legal support that is clear, compassionate, and truly life-changing. With a strong heritage and an adaptable approach, we continue to evolve to meet the needs of the people we support. Our strength lies not only in our legal expertise but in the connections we build with our clients, our colleagues, and our communities.
As an apprentice at Parker Bullen, you would not only be a part of this growing firm, but also enjoy our extensive Employee Benefits Package, varied social activities, a supportive working environment and extensive Learning and Development Programme to support your future career aspirations.
PB Training Programme
In order to continue to grow and thrive, we look for colleagues who embrace our commitment to client care, and who are willing to work together with their colleagues collaboratively, openly and enthusiastically.
Our PB Training Programme is the perfect way to ensure that you have the right route available to you to pursue your career, while also providing us with the right people to move us forward. Through this initiative, there are opportunities to work towards becoming a Solicitor, with a structured, supportive pathway to encourage you to succeed.
Why an Apprenticeship?
You may have been considering a career in the law but do not wish to follow the University route, preferring practical, hands-on experience.
An apprenticeship is the perfect opportunity for you to gain the qualifications required to pursue this career path, while providing you with real life experience of working in a law firm, earning a living and learning on the job. You will be able to put the theory into practice, observe your peers and gain a unique insight into the day-to-day operations of a law firm, including the administration and marketing functions.
Apprenticeship Opportunities
We can offer two Apprenticeship options:
Paralegal Apprenticeship – this results in a Level 3 Apprenticeship qualification over a period of 21 months.
Visit our Paralegal Apprenticeship page for more information.
Solicitor Apprenticeship – once you have completed the Paralegal Apprenticeship with us, or you have obtained either a law or qualifying degree, you can then move on to the Solicitor Apprenticeship. This apprenticeship results in you completing both SQE1 and SQE2 exams, and if successfully passed you can apply to be admitted as a Solicitor with the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.
See our Solicitor Apprenticeship page for more information.
