Experience

Helen qualified as a solicitor in the United Kingdom in 2005. She began her career handling high volume, fast track personal injury claims before moving on to a more complex case load of catastrophic injury and, clinical negligence matters. As she moved through her career Helen’s practice moved away from personal injury but retained a bias towards insurance law by handling property litigation claims. Helen’s main focus and expertise is in the interpretation and resolution of policy coverage matters and has previously successfully run arguments on points of law up to and including the European Court of Justice.

In 2013 Helen took a career break when she left the United Kingdom for New York. Helen joined the DWF Team in 2023 and initially worked with the Charlotte office of DWF handling a mixed case load of general liability claims, Sexual Molestation, Employment Practice Management Liability claims and policy coverage matters. Today Helen’s main focus is on the Professional liability claims line of the business in her new role as a Claims manager for DWF.
