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.

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.

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

Requirements

• It’s likely you’re a Chartered Legal Executive, Solicitor, or Associate 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
• You're located in a commutable distance to our Exeter or Southampton office. We currently work 80% from home & 20% from the office - you control how this looks
