Team Leader Partner

Are you leading a team AND have a full caseload of family files?

Family Lawyers across the country tell us day in, day out - "I can't manage a team effectively AND meet a full target." Something has to give, either your team suffer with less management than they'd like, or you suffer, having to work longer hours.

At Stowe, our Team Leader Partners have a reduced target so you can lead your team, and develop and support them, all within a flexible working environment.

Due to growth, we're hiring a Team Leader Partner to join our Thames Valley team, Beth joined us 3 years ago as a Team Leader Partner (albeit in Nottingham), read about her journey here -

We'll give you progression opportunities, a reduced target, and we'll support your development through tailored training. You'll be able to lead your team with the backing of the largest specialist family law firm in the country. We'll empower you to make decisions and help you grow the team across the Thames Valley.

Ideally, you will be:

• We welcome applications from experienced Chartered Legal Executives like Beth - you're likely either a Senior Lawyer / Senior Solicitor that's frustrated because you're not a Partner, or, a Partner in a traditional firm that is frustrated that they're not an equity partner or not being adequately rewarded.
• You'll be a leader of people, able to nurture and develop your team
• You'll be commercially minded and able to spot opportunities to improve client service
• You want to reach your potential and be ambitious. We offer work-life balance and support, but you'll want to progress your career whilst still practicing family law
• Able to convert new clients and lead a range of complex divorce, finance and children cases
