Helen Greenfield

Helen advises on all matters relating to family breakdown, divorce and cohabitation. She has a particular interest in helping those who have been affected by domestic abuse, which can include anything from isolating a person from their friends and family, monitoring their time or taking control over aspects of their everyday life (such as where they can go, who they can see, what to wear, their finances or when they can sleep) as well as threats to hurt, to kill or even physical assault.

Helen recognises that the legal implications of domestic abuse are accompanied by a plethora of emotional and other issues, and she aims to ensure that clients are able to work through them with the right advice and support.

Helen’s aim is to ensure the situation people face, as a result of their relationship breakdown, is made as easy as it can be. She works with clients, both domestic and internationally, to deal with their problems in a constructive manner so the client, any children and everyone else involved can move forward positively. Helen is a qualified collaborative lawyer and a trained mediator. She is also a qualified Mental Health First Aider.

Helen is based in both Brighton & London and can see clients wherever is most convenient.

Helen is a member of Resolution. She volunteers for the Family Law Panel’s domestic abuse helpline (run by OnlyMums and OnlyDads) and Restored Lives advice evenings. Helen is also a member of Amicable Divorce Network Directory (UK).
