Job description

Working at Stowe, you'll enjoy the advantages of being part of a leading national family law firm while benefiting from the close-knit support of a local team. Although we're the largest family law team nationwide, we have smaller offices so you feel part of a close-knit team.

Here's 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. - Learn more about life at Stowe

• Real progression
  If you're ready to grow, we'll help you make it happen. We have biannual promotion windows, development programmes and clear development paths, so progression isn't something you have to chase; it's part of how we work. - See how we help our people grow

• 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.

Requirements;

• You're likely a Chartered Legal Executive, Associate or Solicitor within family law who's frustrated because of a lack of progression opportunities, flexibility or challenge
• You'll be comfortable leading your own caseload of finance and children cases with support from the team
• You're ambitious, you want to progress your career, and you want to develop
• You understand the need for empathy and sensitivity for clients going through an incredibly difficult period
