Helen Ioannou

“I am a specialist family solicitor having practised family law since 2008. I joined Goodwins in February 2018 after having worked in a Legal 500 firm and gained extensive experience dealing with complex and high net worth cases, including the reported case of Ramadani v Ramadani [2015] EWCA Civ 1138 in which case the assets were located worldwide. I have built a varied caseload ranging from complex high net worth matters with some involving international elements and complex business structures, to straightforward divorce matters involving modest assets and cases involving cohabitees. I am proficient in preparing pre and post-nuptial agreements. My clients have described me as a robust lawyer who has an eye for detail. I will take a firm approach, but I am empathetic and take the time to listen.”
