About Helen
I am a partner in the personal injury and medical negligence division at Moore Barlow. I represent those who have suffered serious, often life threatening, injuries through no fault of their own.
I have been a qualified solicitor for 35 years. I have been ranked as an eminent practitioner for several years now by the Chambers UK Guide to the legal profession. I am a Fellow of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and am an externally accredited brain injury specialist. I was a founder member of both the Law Society (now SRA) Personal Injury Panel and Clinical Negligence Panel.
Between 2016 and 2025 I was the elected Chair of first Barlow Robbins and then Moore Barlow. I am proud of the fact that I led a business into merger and co-designed Moore Barlow as a brand-new law firm with a unique vision and set of values based on making a difference to those we serve.
My career focus and passion, however, has been the legal representation and support of people with acquired brain injury.
Civil litigation is an overwhelming prospect for most people. I aim to make the complex simple and guide my clients and their families along the journey so that they understand as much as they wish to and feel more in control as a result. I prioritise rehabilitation and assistance for my client and their family. My aim is to restore as good a quality of life as we can achieve, whilst at the same time driving the claim to its successful conclusion. I have an extensive track record of settlements worth many millions of pounds each.
For over 20 years I have also been a professional Court of Protection Deputy, for people who have lost the capacity to make their own decisions. I have walked alongside my clients well after their claims have settled. I know what happens next, over the long term, and I bring that experience to the table for the benefit of everyone I work with.
I have been described by Legal 500 as “a star individual who has huge experience in this field and great client care skills”.
Network
For 19 years I was a trustee of Headway Surrey, which means I understand all too well the pressures on the public and charitable sector finances in this area. And how hard it can be for individuals to get help sometimes without a substantial compensation award. I remain a supporter of both this and its national parent charity Headway.
I founded the Surrey Acquired Brain Injury Forum as a networking and training vehicle for professionals working with brain injury survivors, partly as a way of encouraging and supporting joined up thinking between professional disciplines. I continue to play an active part in its work.
I enjoy great working relationships with health and social care professionals across the country and now have an extensive network, which helps me to signpost clients to the services which will benefit them.
