Brookman is a long-established family law team. For individuals in Finsbury and other parts of the London Borough of Islington who are going through divorce we offer high quality, local advice and representation. We have been practicing family law and divorce for more than 45 years and are proud of the fact that other legal professionals and former clients hold us in high regard.
Divorce raises complex and sensitive issues no matter where you’re located. Each case is different. Finding an acceptable settlement – with or without court intervention –doesn’t depend on your financial resources or the size of your family. It helps to have a solicitor nearby who you can count on when serious legal issues around your divorce arise. In our experience seemingly straightforward separations can prove the most difficult to resolve. That’s why we offer a personalised service – one that’s not readily available from all London family solicitors.
Clients based in Finsbury and throughout EC1 and WC1 benefit from our national and international experience, and we offer a service combining value for money with high calibre, practical advice. We’re happy to have a free initial conversation without any obligation – we’ll offer preliminary guidance and support to help you decide what steps you should take next.

WHAT WE DO
The team of solicitors at Brookman deals exclusively with family law and related matters. Our clients in Finsbury can get help with:
- Divorce and Separation – We advise clients who are considering divorce or who have just begun the process. Where required we can assist with the administrative aspects of divorce, ensuring online applications are completed accurately and that financial claims are notified to the court at the appropriate time. This can minimise any delay in the process and avoid any negative impact on your financial settlement. For clients in Finsbury it helps that our offices are a short bus/Tube ride away in the event that you need documents signed or verified urgently.
- Financial Aspects of Divorce and Separation – There are no hard and fast rules about how assets are divided on divorce. Courts take multiple factors into account, including the duration of the marriage and your future earning capacity. At Brookman we deal with cases ranging from the relatively straightforward involving modest assets to the most complex cases centring on high value assets located in multiple jurisdictions. We bring decades of experience to the table, giving us the ability to advise you early on about what a realistic settlement might look like. Our insight and advice can help simplify and shorten even the most bitterly contested divorce.
- Issues That Concern Children – We’ll work with you and your spouse’s representative to reach an agreement about where your children will live after divorce, and what time they will spend with the non-resident parent. If agreement isn’t possible, we’ll apply to court for the necessary Child Arrangement Order.
- Pre And Post Nuptial Agreements – Increasingly recognised in England and Wales these agreements can help simplify matters in the event of divorce. In appropriate cases, they can also help safeguard family inheritances. We can advise on whether they might be appropriate for you.
- Divorce With An International Angle – Brookman is recognised widely for its experience in international divorces. If there is international property or you or your spouse have connections with another country, your divorce could potentially be decided outside of England and Wales. We advise on how this may impact your financial settlement and child arrangements.
