Celebrating the Five-Year Anniversary of Helen Clifford Law.
This year marks a special milestone for our firm as we celebrate our fifth anniversary. Over the past five years, we have had the privilege of supporting clients through some of life’s most challenging circumstances, securing successful outcomes and helping them rebuild their lives after life-changing events. Recent successes include settlement of an accident at work claim against the BBC, a seven-figure settlement for a client who suffered catastrophic injuries in a road traffic accident (RTA) and an excellent outcome for a client involved in an RTA who had previously suffered a spinal cord injury.
Our continued growth has brought many achievements, including the purchase of our office premises, demonstrating the stability of the firm and our long-term commitment to our clients and growing team for the years to come. We were also delighted to welcome our Practice Manager, Stephanie, in May 2025.
Helen was honoured with the Surrey Law Society Lawyer of the Year Award in 2023, a proud professional and personal achievement. We were equally proud to sponsor and present the same award at the ceremony in 2025.
We remain ranked by Chambers & Partners and Legal 500, and an APIL Accredited Practice, reflecting our commitment to excellence and best practice in personal injury law.
Our steady caseload, clean Accountant’s Report (AR1), consistently positive independent file reviews, and longstanding relationship with Markel for After The Event insurance provide a strong foundation for future growth. We have also built excellent working relationships with leading barristers and experts; these established partnerships ensure continuity of service and enable us to provide clients with access to specialist expertise and high-quality representation.
Earlier this year, Helen secured The Lioness Lawyer® trademark, reinforcing our distinctive identity and commitment to empowering clients, ensuring their safety and wellbeing.
Supporting charitable and community causes remains incredibly important to us. We continue to support the Back Up Trust and are proud to be headline sponsor of their 40th Birthday Ball this December. We have also formed a partnership with Regain, The Charity for Tetraplegics, and we continue to support inspiring individuals including Chris Yeates https://www.instagram.com/ye8tesy/ and Austin Beighton https://www.facebook.com/p/Austin-Racing-100-61572712454548/ in their respective journeys.
We remain committed to improving workplace safety through our support of the Construction Safety Campaign and Families Against Corporate Killers (FACK). This year, we also proudly sponsored the ABSCI APIL Conference and the Asian Lawyers Summer Social 2026, helping to support the next generation of legal professionals.
As we celebrate five years in practice, we would like to thank our clients, colleagues, barristers, experts, professional contacts and community partners for their trust and support. Every success we have achieved has been made possible through the relationships we have built along the way. We look forward to the next chapter, continuing to provide exceptional legal representation, achieve outstanding results, and make a positive impact both inside and outside the courtroom.
Here’s to the next five years!

Here’s what The Lioness Lawyer®, Helen Clifford, had to say about the firm’s Five-Year Anniversary …
Five years of Helen Clifford Law!
I was The Lioness Lawyer® long before that. But she didn't have a name, and she didn't recognise her own strength. Her courage and resilience were born from the battles that she fought and won against bullying, dishonesty and corruption. She refused to sacrifice her integrity for financial gain. She protects her clients as a lioness does her cubs and pride. A powerful balance between ferocity and compassion in an ever-changing legal landscape. One that favours Defendants at every turn and Claimants are often seen as a commodity.
Helen Clifford Law puts our clients first. They are the reason we exist. To support them, to fight for justice and the compensation they deserve. We are a strategic force to be reckoned with. The personal injury world has changed beyond recognition since I qualified 30 years ago. Claimants have fewer choices due to consolidation and continue to lack information and knowledge about their rights. I am proud that Helen Clifford Law is completely independent.
There have been a vast number of achievements over the last 5 years, but none make me prouder than the feedback we receive from clients:
"Helen is the best of the best"
"Helen's devotion to her clients, their family & the case is paramount"
"I trust her with my life" "it's as though an angel came to rescue us".
I know I've got it right when I'm hated and feared by Defendants and loved by my clients. I will continue to roar, as loudly as I need to, in order to ensure that my clients' voices are heard and that their fight for justice is victorious.
