Family Senior Associate

Hello Cambridge!

This is your chance to be at the forefront of something new – helping to shape our brand-new Cambridge office from the ground up. You’ll play a key role in building our presence locally, all while being backed by the UK’s largest specialist family law firm.

Thats right, we're a national firm with over 200 lawyers BUT our local teams are tight-knit, supportive and collaborative. You’ll get the best of both worlds: the backing of a large, specialist firm and the camaraderie of a small, growing team. Here's what you can expect:

Work your way – Whether you prefer to be at home or in the office, we trust you to shape your week in a way that works for you: More on our culture

Room to grow – No glass ceilings here. Whatever your career goals – whether you want to develop a niche, step into leadership or simply become the best lawyer you can be – we’ll support you every step of the way: Explore our development offer

You're backed by experts – From legal assistants and secretaries to client care and billing teams, we’ve built a strong infrastructure so you can focus on doing what you do best – helping clients.

Wellbeing that’s more than a buzzword – With wellness leave and mental health champions across the firm, we take wellbeing seriously. You’ll be supported personally and professionally at every stage.

A national network at your fingertips – You might be based in Cambridge, but you’re never on your own. You’ll be part of the UK’s largest family law network, with brilliant colleagues to bounce ideas off at any time: Meet the wider Stowe team

Modern marketing that works – Our marketing team is second to none – they’ll help you build your profile locally and nationally. From digital campaigns to podcasts, they’ve got you covered: Check us out on Spotify

Get involved in more than just law – From our colleague-led groups like Sustainable Stowe to our DE&I and wellbeing initiatives, there are plenty of ways to get stuck in and help shape our culture: See what Sustainable Stowe have been up to
