Case Study: Stowe Family Law achieves scalable growth and operational efficiency with Access Group's Access Legal Practice Management

How Access Legal's Practice Management enables growth for the UK’s largest family law firm – Stowe Family Law

Stowe Family Law, the UK’s largest specialist family law firm (about 180 staff across 23 offices handling ~2,600 clients), faced the challenge of moving off paper-based processes and putting in place a scalable case-management platform that would provide consistent workflows, robust data and reporting, and support future growth. After a six-month evaluation they chose Access Group’s Access Legal Practice Management solution to meet those needs.

Access Group implemented Access Legal across the firm—delivering time recording and billing, enquiry and referral management, configurable workflows and central management information—allowing Stowe Family Law to standardise processes and scale quickly. The result: significant time savings and efficiency gains, improved billing accuracy and risk management, a reduced lawyer-to-secretary ratio, easy onboarding of 50+ new users, and expansion from an initial 16 locations to 23 offices while continuing to manage ~2,600 active clients.
