Stowe Family Law in London: step by step!

As you may recall from previous posts, Stowe Family Law is set to open a London office. It is very exciting and I wanted to update you on our progress.

Our new offices are at 8 Fulwood Place, opposite Chancery Lane in the heart of legal London. Fulwood Place is a courtyard in which there are other solicitors’ offices and barristers’ chambers. It is just two minutes, if that, from the Principal Registry, which is the hub of family law in London.

Currently the office is in a gutted and unusable condition. It is pictured here – for posterity!  In this picture (above) I am climbing down a ladder from the flat roof.

Soon we hope to have a beautiful, glass-topped office, built on that roof, with a view over Grays Inn Gardens. It won’t be large – I think that “bijou” is the official term used by estate agents - but I think it will be very stylish and we hope to welcome clients there as soon as we can. The remainder of the building is to be laid out with fee earner floors, admin floors and a fully dedicated conference suite for client meetings.

A number of people have been working hard on this, including Andrew Williams and Paul Read from Stowe Family Law. Jonny Nagler of Intelligent Work Space is managing the entire project on our behalf.

At the time of writing, the building plans remain subject to the consent of the planning department at Camden Council. Fingers, toes and everything else you can think of are crossed! I will let you know what happens…
