Eleanor Webster, 27, was an award-winning student at Nottingham Law School and completed her training contract with a large law firm in Manchester. She specialises in children cases.

Liz Bell, 27 and Sarah Barr-Young, 32, specialise in ancillary relief. Both qualified as solicitors in September, after joining the firm on work experience in 2007, and have already been praised by clients for their friendly and no-nonsense approach to cases.

Sarah Barr-Young said: “We were both drawn to Stowe Family Law because this firm is populated by leaders in their fields. There are no other family law firms of this calibre in Yorkshire”.

Marilyn Stowe said: “These three young women are all gifted lawyers and we are delighted to welcome them to our team. Their appointments are part of our programme of planned expansion, boosting the family law expertise which underpins our team’s formidable track record.”
