Position
Helena both prosecutes and defends in all criminal courts. She is experienced in handling cases across the spectrum of criminal offences, including serious violence, drugs, robbery and fraud.
In addition to her criminal practice, Helena has considerable experience in financial regulation. She has been instructed on a continuing basis for 18 months by an offshore firm in a highly confidential financial services regulatory investigation.

Before coming to the Bar, Helena worked as a research assistant on the criminal law team at the Law Commission, assisting in the projects on the insanity defence and unfitness to plead.
