Helen Manterfield

Helen is a Trainee Solicitor in our litigation team.

She began her career as a primary school teacher in London before moving into the advice sector, where she provided specialist welfare benefits support through Citizens Advice and Shelter. After taking a career break to raise her first child, she volunteered with Citizens Advice and later secured a paid role, inspiring her to pursue a legal career. While working, Helen completed a law conversion course and passed the SQE exams part-time.

Helen studied History at the University of Leeds, completed a PGCE in Primary Education at the University of Manchester and went on to gain an MA in Law from the University of Law, where she received a Career Changer Scholarship. Her varied professional background gives her a practical, people-focused perspective when supporting clients.

She joined us in September 2026 and is based in our Lancashire office.
