Legal Assistant (6 Month FTC)

£28k per annum

At Stowe, you’ll enjoy the advantages of being part of a leading national family law firm while benefiting from the close-knit support of a local team. Although we're the largest family law team nationwide, we have smaller offices so you feel part of a close-knit team. Here’s why we stand out:

  • Flexible work environment : Whether you prefer working from home or the office, you design how your working week looks, and we can support whatever works for you. Learn more

  • Emphasis on wellbeing : Prioritise your wellbeing. We have incorporated feedback from our network of mental health champions to foster the best approach. Additionally, we offer wellness leave and have partnered with Lifeworks to provide comprehensive physical, mental, and emotional support. Stowe will support you and your career.

  • Our social legal teams : We're lucky to have the largest internal network of family professionals in the UK for you to get support from. There’s always someone available to get advice from. Learn more

What We're Looking For:

  • You’re currently a legal assistant working within family law.

  • Or, you're a legal assistant in another area of law with a desire to work in family law.

  • Or, you're a Law, LPC, CILEX, or SQE graduate with knowledge of family law processes.

What You'll Be Doing:

As a Legal Assistant, you’ll support our Fee Earners. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Handling file compliance and onboarding tasks, including identity checks.

  • Uploading documents to the court portal.

  • Bundling and collating documents as needed.

  • Liaising with clients, lawyers, counsel chambers, and courts.

  • Managing case administration and updating the case management system.

  • Arranging meetings, booking meeting rooms, and keeping diaries organised for clients.

  • Dealing with No-Fault Divorce files, including booking the first appointment, and staying up to date with the latest No-Fault Divorce rules.

This role is a 6-month fixed-term contract and will be based out of our Leeds office with flexible working.
