Jume Begum is a dedicated and compassionate Consultant Solicitor at Barclay Solicitors, specialising in Family Law and Immigration & Asylum Law. She is committed to delivering clear, practical, and empathetic legal advice to clients who are often facing some of the most sensitive and challenging times in their lives. Her calm, approachable nature combined with a results-driven mindset allows her to provide tailored support that prioritises her clients’ best interests.

In her Family Law practice, Jume has extensive experience across a broad range of matters, including child arrangements, contact and living disputes, non-molestation and occupation orders, divorce, financial remedy proceedings, forced marriage, and care proceedings. She also advises and represents clients in TOLATA (Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act) claims, helping to resolve complex property disputes between unmarried couples. Jume regularly appears in court, advocating strongly yet sensitively for her clients while striving to resolve matters amicably whenever possible. Her focus is always on achieving fair and sustainable outcomes that protect families and promote long-term stability.

Alongside her Family Law expertise, Jume also practices Immigration and Asylum Law, where she has developed a strong reputation for representing vulnerable and marginalised individuals. Her immigration work includes human rights and protection claims, citizenship applications, further leave to remain, and appeals. Jume’s approach is characterised by meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the human impact of immigration decisions, ensuring every client receives compassionate, high-quality representation.

Jume graduated with an LLB in Law from SOAS, University of London, and went on to complete the LPC LLM at The University of Law, where she was awarded a prestigious scholarship from the Aziz Foundation in recognition of her academic excellence and community engagement. Her strong academic background and continued commitment to professional development ensure she remains at the forefront of evolving legal practice and legislative changes.

Outside of her legal work, Jume is an avid reader of classic literature and poetry. She finds inspiration and balance through her love of reading, believing that literature fosters empathy and understanding — qualities that deeply influence her approach to client care and advocacy.
