Building the UK's
largest family law firm

Stowe Family Law was founded in 1982 with a simple ambition: to create a law firm dedicated exclusively to family law.

What began in a converted cobbler's shop in Leeds, England has grown over more than four decades into the UK's largest specialist family law firm, supporting thousands of individuals and families every year.

Throughout that time, one thing has remained unchanged: our belief that people facing family law matters deserve specialist expertise, clear guidance and genuine support.

What makes Stowe different

From the beginning, we've focused exclusively on family law. By specialising in one area, we've built deep expertise across divorce, financial matters, children's issues and every stage of relationship breakdown.

"We do one thing, and we do it exceptionally well."

Our growth has been driven by our people and our reputation. We've invested in attracting outstanding legal talent, developing future leaders and embracing new ways of working that continually improve the experience we provide for our clients.

Today, Stowe combines the strength and resources of a leading specialist firm with a personal, human approach, helping clients navigate life's most important decisions with confidence.

Our values

Our values shape the way we work, the decisions we make and the relationships we build. They guide how we support one another as colleagues, how we work with our clients and how we're building Stowe Family Law across Australia.

We have spirit

We care about what we do and the difference we can make. We bring positivity, determination and professionalism to our work, taking pride in supporting people through some of life's most important moments. We celebrate success, face challenges together and never lose sight of the trust our clients place in us.

We achieve together

Family law is built on people, and so are we. We believe the best results come from working together, sharing knowledge and learning from one another. By supporting our colleagues and drawing on the collective experience of our teams, we're able to provide better outcomes for our clients and create a stronger business for the future.

We want growth

Growth has always been part of our story, but it's never been about growth for its own sake. Every new colleague, every new office and every opportunity to expand our reach allows us to support more individuals and families across Australia.

We're committed to continually improving how we work, investing in our people and building on the expertise that already exists within our teams. As we grow, we remain focused on what matters most: delivering exceptional client care and creating a business where people are proud to belong.

Stowe in Australia

Our investment in Australia reflects our confidence in the future of specialist family law and our ambition to build something exceptional for clients and colleagues alike.

Australia is an important part of Stowe's future. We're excited to bring our specialist expertise, collaborative culture and commitment to excellence to clients and colleagues across the region.
