Our clients get a truly director-lead service, lead by specialists who have the drive and competence required to understand each client’s world and helps them make successful decisions.

About the relationship between Isadore Goldman and Isadores
Isadore Goldman was founded by Mr Isadore Goldman in 1885. Practicing initially in family law, Mr Goldman quickly branched out into insolvency which was carried on by his son, Joe, and his grandson, Alfred, well into the 1970s. Alfred Goldman complimented this with a successful bank recovery practice when the firm was sometimes referred to as the “grim reaper” winning the loyalty of a large national clearing bank that continues to this day.

Born out of the success and caliber of Isadore Goldman, in 2021 Isadores emerged as a separate business arm which is a modern corporate and commercial property focused practice servicing a diverse range of business sectors. Isadores is a new firm built on the foundations developed over 135 years  of practicing law.
