Job description

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.

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 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. - Have a listen to our podcast
