This marks Stowe’s inaugural non-UK investment
Family law boutique Unified Lawyers has partnered with UK-based family law firm Stowe Family Law.
Stowe’s investment in Unified was completed recently. The transaction represents Stowe’s inaugural investment outside the UK.
The partnership grants Unified access to Stowe’s resources. Stowe indicated that it prioritised investing in Australia given the mature legal system, robust regulatory alignment with the UK and high demand for family law services.
“The market also presents a strong cultural fit and shared client values, providing an ideal foundation for international expansion”, Stowe said in a press release.
Unified’s founders and team will retain operational responsibilities, working together with Stowe.
Unified was launched in 2014 and operates across Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland. Stowe has established over 90 offices throughout the UK and has tackled divorce, financial settlements and complex children matters.
Investcorp is the majority owner of Stowe.
