About Stowe Family Law

When families break down, we take the strain.

We’re the largest specialist team of family lawyers in the UK. And every one of us wants the same thing: to help more clients get what they need today so that they can move on tomorrow.​

Our story

In the year that American actress Elizabeth Taylor finalised her 7th divorce (1982), we opened our first office in a converted cobblers shop in Leeds.

Since then, we’ve evolved, changed and grown.

Today, we are the only national law firm completely dedicated to family matters. From our unique position, we help families when they break down with care, empathy and respect.

Our people

Our people are the backbone of what we do. We attract the best family lawyers and support teams who excel in something they are passionate about.

Within our 160-plus strong team of leading UK divorce lawyers, we have forensic accountants, a dedicated children’s department, an adoption team, surrogacy law specialists and an international family law department and we also have trained mediators.
