Henry Brookman

Henry Brookman is a towering figure in Jersey family law, bringing more than 45 years of post-qualification experience to bear on the most complex and high-stakes matrimonial cases the Island sees. The Legal 500 has described him in terms that speak for themselves: "shrewd, savvy, sagacious and highly experienced" — qualities that have made him the first choice for clients facing truly difficult family situations where legal knowledge alone is not enough. Over the course of his career, Henry has acted in landmark Jersey cases that have shaped the development of matrimonial law on the Island, and his encyclopaedic knowledge of Jersey's unique legal framework — from the law of légitime to the customary property rights of spouses — remains unmatched. As Senior Counsel, he continues to take on the most complex financial remedy, trust, and contested children cases, providing a depth of insight that cannot be replicated.
