Stowe Family Law (Stowe), one of the UK’s leading technology-enabled law firms, today announced it has completed its acquisition of Emera Family Law.
Emera Family Law is a specialist family law firm based in Victoria, with offices in Melbourne and Sunshine. Led by Mona Emera, the firm is highly regarded by its clients and has built a strong reputation among practitioners. Mona Emera and the Emera Family Law team will continue to operate the firm.
The deal brings Emera’s clients the benefits of access to enhanced resources, operational expertise, and international perspectives gained from Stowe’s experience, as it joins forces to accelerate its growth and take its business to the next level.
This agreement with Emera Family Law builds on Stowe’s partnership with Unified Family Lawyers, announced in January this year. Unified Family Lawyers is one of Australia’s largest, fastest-growing family law firms, with offices in Sydney, South East Queensland and Melbourne. Together, these partnerships represent an important step in Stowe’s mission to become the first choice for family law in Australia by offering compassionate, high-quality services.
Stowe has chosen Australia as a priority international market due to its mature legal system, strong regulatory alignment with the UK, and strong demand for high-quality family law services. The market also presents a strong cultural fit and shared client values, providing an ideal foundation for international expansion.
Ken Fowlie, Executive Chairman at Stowe, said:
“Expanding in Victoria is a natural next step for Stowe as we continue to grow our presence in Australia. Mona and her team bring deep expertise to their work and have built a strong reputation for helping people navigate family change in a way that aligns with our own values. Together, we see a real opportunity to strengthen access to a compassionate model for family law in Victoria, while continuing to invest in the people, systems and technology that help deliver an outstanding client experience.”
Mona Emera said:
“Joining Stowe opens an exciting new chapter for Emera Family Law. We have always been committed to supporting our clients with empathy and care. Stowe shares that commitment and brings with it the opportunity to further innovate, including through the use of technology. With Stowe’s support we will be able to build on what we have achieved and deepen the support we provide to our clients. “
