Helen is COO at LegalEdge and runs the business together with CEO Donna to bring their fractional in-house counsel service to scaling companies.

Helen and Donna set up LegalEdge to provide a commercially focused and cost-effective legal solution that helps growing businesses scale faster and more effectively. Helen’s aim is to continue to simplify ‘legal’ for companies and to help them integrate it into their operations efficiently. Developing lean and scalable documentation and processes to manage work and reduce risk, and get deals done quicker.

She hates ‘over-lawyering’ and is passionate about ensuring legal solutions are pragmatic, straightforward and commercial. She advocates an ‘inside-out’ approach with a focus on helping clients prioritise what’s important so they can proactively manage legal strategy, processes and budget.

Useful to know:

Helen’s into her wild swimming (that’s swimming in rivers, lakes and the sea in case you wondered) and loves a good festival.

Worked with:

Helen has previously worked both as a corporate lawyer for international law firms Baker & McKenzie and Eversheds as well as managing the EMEA legal teams for various tech/media companies.

What do our clients think?

We’ll set up a cost-effective, efficient legal function for your business. You’ll have an experienced lawyer as your single point of contact who works as part of your operations team.

No duplication and no reinventing the wheel each time. We get to know your business quickly to manage your legal matters effectively and add value. And as your flexible in-house legal function, we can be scaled up or down depending on needs.

We analyse risk and prioritise what’s important, then manage and carry out the day-to-day legal work, all to a set budget. We’ve all worked as in-house lawyers in fast growth companies, so know what you need (and don’t need) to worry about. We’ll work with you to get deals and contracts done and help achieve your business goals.

“The fact that all their lawyers have worked inside businesses means they are commercial, pragmatic and know exactly how to prioritise what’s important.”

“We’re very pleased with the work LegalEdge are doing for us. We’re getting quick and decisive responses that are really helping us move forward.”

We work with small in-house legal teams that need additional support on a flexible basis without adding to headcount.

Whether it’s overflow work, a project or just a much-needed extra pair of hands we can help. We get the job done without supervision, working seamlessly as part of your team or behind the scenes, whatever works best for you. We don’t do endless negotiations on the clock or write long legal memos. We just help prioritise, find solutions and get it done.We understand the challenges and demands of small in-house teams because we’ve been there. We work as an extension to your team, get up to speed on business priorities quickly, and help you keep control of legal workflow and budget.

“The ideal solution for the busy in-house counsel who is unable to add a permanent head as you have the ability to flex support without the need to rely on expensive law firms.”

“LegalEdge has provided excellent, commercially focused advice as part of our in-house legal team that has helped us close contracts with our customers and partners.”
