A lawyer recognised as an “associate to watch” in a prestigious national legal guide has joined a Shropshire law firm as it expands its family team due to growing demand.
Helen Davies qualified as a solicitor more than 15 years ago and brings a wealth of experience to her new role with Lanyon Bowdler, having worked for several firms across the north west of the country.
Her appointment comes as Lanyon Bowdler reports increasing demand for the firm’s services – circumstances that have led to the expansion of its family law team.
Helen, who is based at Lanyon Bowdler’s Oswestry office, was recognised as an associate to watch in the 2025 and 2026 editions of Chambers UK, reflecting her commitment to delivering exceptional client service and results.
Sue Hodgson, head of Lanyon Bowdler’s family law team, said demand was continuing to grow for the firm’s advice regarding family issues such as divorce and cases involving children.
She said: “We are delighted to welcome Helen to the firm. She is a highly-regarded solicitor with a wealth of experience and has built up an impressive reputation for her pragmatic and client-focused approach.
“As a Resolution member and specialist in complex higher income and asset financial remedies and private children law, Helen is dedicated to helping clients achieve constructive, practical outcomes during what can often be difficult and emotional times in their lives, so she will be a valuable addition to the team.”
After completing her LLB law and criminology degree with honours at Keele University in 2005, Helen studied for the LPC at the College of Law, Chester. She undertook her training contract at a firm in Liverpool before qualifying as a solicitor in April 2010.
Helen said her key aim was always to reach a positive conclusion for her clients and their families.
“I am excited to be joining Lanyon Bowdler and working with clients across a range of family law issues,” she said.
“My particular focus is on the financial aspects of relationship breakdowns, whether involving married or unmarried couples, which often involve complex property, business interests, and inherited assets.
“I also advise on nuptial and cohabitation agreements, as well as complex Children Act matters. I frequently collaborate with other professionals such as accountants, financial advisers, coaches, and therapists as needed to ensure clients receive a coordinated and holistic approach to their family circumstances.”
