We are Stephens Scown, a leading South West law firm with a reputation for doing things differently. Founded in Cornwall in 1938, we became the UK's first large employee-owned law firm, and today our 322 employee owners, including 63 partners, work from offices in Exeter, Truro, Taunton and Bournemouth, with a further base in London.

We are passionate about our region and its businesses, from tourism and green energy to farming and technology, and we help businesses with everything from corporate and commercial affairs, property and employment to disputes and debt recovery. We are also there for the tricky moments in your personal life, such as moving home, separation, planning your estate and problems at work.

We are a certified B Corp, we are ranked by The Legal 500 and by Chambers, which has described us as a dominant force in the marketplace, and we were named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026.
