Feeling like you’ve hit a glass ceiling? Maybe you want more flexibility, better development and progression, or simply a firm that listens. At Stowe, we’re here to change that. We’re the UK’s largest family law firm, but we don’t act like a big corporate machine. Each of our offices has its own close-knit team where you’ll feel supported, valued, and trusted to work in the way that suits you best.
What makes us stand out:
- Flexibility that actually works: work from home, from the office, or a mix of both, whatever helps you do your best work.
- Real progression: if you’re ready to grow, we’ll help you make it happen. We have biannual promotion windows and clear development paths, so progression isn’t something you have to chase; it’s part of how we work.
- Dedicated support around you: you’ll have secretaries, legal assistants, billing, and new business enquiry teams behind you, so you can focus on your clients and the rewarding parts of family law.
- Well-being that means something: we know how emotionally demanding this area of law can be. From wellness leave to our partnership with Lifeworks and a network of mental health champions, your well-being is a priority, not an afterthought.
- Always improving: our tailored case management system and brilliant marketing team are here to make your day-to-day run more smoothly.
