Stowe Family Law

Family law firm strengthens Yorkshire roots with Huddersfield office

Stowe Family Law has announced the opening of its Huddersfield office, its seventh in the Yorkshire region.

The firm’s latest branch brings the total number of Stowe Family Law offices to 20. The Huddersfield team will be headed by managing partner Rachel Roberts, with support from solicitors Jennifer Hollyer and Rebecca Moore.

Stowe Family Law CEO Charles Hartwell said: ‘Stowe Family Law now has more specialist family lawyers than any other firm in the country, enabling us to provide the very best legal knowledge and experience to our clients. 

‘Following on from our office opening in York this April, we have 24 family lawyers in Yorkshire alone, so no matter what circumstances our clients face, we can expertly guide them through to the best result. I am very proud of the firm’s Yorkshire roots and opening an office in Huddersfield was a natural addition to our geographical footprint in the region.’
