Specialisms

Helen in her own words

I am inspired by helping people improve and protect their businesses, and also by helping them know their own rights and use them to their own advantage. I am always pleased to offer my clients a thorough understanding of their business needs, prompt feedback, comfortable communication, and the ability to explain complex legal issues in a clear and structured manner.

I really enjoy general projects involving multiple offices in the COTTYN Network. This makes it possible to tap into the immense power of the close-knit team and leverage its synergies to meet the needs of clients.
