Helen is a Senior Litigation Lawyer who is currently responsible for helping to drive innovation at A&O, working with senior stakeholders to promote the strategic use of technology, resourcing and end-to-end solutions.
With a focus on practice transformation and continuous improvement for A&O’s global Litigation practice, Helen works with the firm’s management team, lawyers and clients to ensure that A&O continues to deliver the most advanced, efficient and client-focused legal service.
Helen joined A&O in 2008 as a trainee and qualified into the Litigation and Investigations team where she was a Senior Associate until September 2019. She remains a solicitor of the courts of England and Wales.
Helen brings with her a vast depth of knowledge from her career as a lawyer advising financial institutions, corporates and individuals on contentious issues including banking, fraud and commercial disputes.
Helen also has an excellent understanding of clients having been on secondment to Standard Chartered Bank, Barclays, Coutts and Goldman Sachs legal teams.
Helen’s time on secondment and managing litigation teams as a Senior Legal Project Manager made her more aware of the potential for project management to transform the way legal services are delivered to clients. Helen is inspired by A&O’s innovative approach and is keen to develop this with clients and the internal legal teams to provide the best possible service.
