Partner appointed as head of new Manchester office

Stowe Family Law has announced the appointment of partner Sarah Snow as the head of its newest Manchester office.

The new premises in the city centre is the firm’s third office in the Greater Manchester area, with existing branches already located in Hale and Wilmslow. Sarah, who specialises in divorce, financial disputes, cohabitation and prenuptial agreements, joined the firm in October 2014 and was promoted to partner the following year. She will now head up the firm’s newest office alongside family partner Gareth Curtis.

Sarah said: Stowe has given me a golden opportunity to ‘come home’ to the city where I qualified, by asking me to head up its new Manchester office. I’m very much looking forward to the challenge this role will give me, and it’s superb that the firm has now added its name to the city’s thriving legal sector.

‘Our offices in Hale and Wimslow have already given us an excellent footing in the North West, and it is great news that we have now opened in the heart of Manchester.’
