Sue Brookes

Sue is both a specialist family lawyer and an accredited mediator. She enables clients to resolve the financial and practical implications of separation and divorce as painlessly as possible, whether through advice or mediation.

Sue also helps married and unmarried clients protect wealth through cohabitation and nuptial agreements.

Sue works with national and international clients, including business owners and professionals. 

As a solicitor, Sue helps clients resolve disputes with clear and practical advice. Sue approaches every case sensitively and adopts the best possible approach for the individual client. This may be expert legal advice in the background, collaborative law or adopting a more robust approach and litigating when needed.

The more complex the case, the more creative the solution needs to be.

Sue has years of experience in high value and complex cases involving property disputes, pensions, businesses, trusts or child arrangements, all of which she can draw upon to help clients to find the best solution in every case. 

"Sue Brookes was outstanding and I cannot praise her enough for her approach and advice which was invaluable and provided me with confidence that the process had a clearly defined end and the likely responses from the other side. I felt I was informed and supported at all times." - Legal 500​

Sue is recommended in Chambers UK and acknowledged for being "kindness and knowledge personified". 

Recent client feedback includes "Excellent advice and a professional and personable relationship" and "Sue was absolutely fantastic. I could not have asked for a better solicitor."

Sue works increasingly with unmarried families. She is on a personal crusade to debunk the widely held belief in the "common law marriage" because of how vulnerable the myth often leaves people in practice.
