Family law firm Stowe continues national expansion with launch of Bristol office

Stowe Family Law LLP, the largest specialist family law firm in the UK, has opened a new office in Bristol.

Located on Queen Square, it is the fourth opened by Stowe Family Law in less than 12 months.

The new Bristol office takes the Harrogate-headquartered law firm’s total to 14 throughout England and Wales.

The latest opening comes 12 months after founder, Marilyn Stowe, sold the business with private equity firm, Livingbridge, taking a majority stake.

Charles Hartwell CEO said: “I’m delighted that Stowe Family Law is adding its name to Bristol’s buoyant legal sector. This is our first new opening of 2018 and sees us well and truly establishing ourselves as the country’s largest specialist family law firm.

“We have recruited a number of exceptionally talented lawyers to head up the Bristol office, and very soon we will have over 50 specialist family lawyers working for us across the country.

“All are selected not only for their legal knowledge and skills, but also their ability to relate to our clients and understand and support them through what can be an extremely difficult and emotional journey.

Charles added: “Stowe Family Law has a reputation for listening to what our clients are seeking to achieve, matching the right solicitor to each client, and tailoring our approach to deliver results.

“This reputation has enabled Stowe to continue to expand throughout the country, attracting quality work and the most talented family lawyers. We have a very attractive proposition for both clients and talented lawyers alike.

“One of the greatest assets of this firm is its people, from the head office staff in Harrogate through to our team of lawyers and forensic accountants across the country.”
