We are absolutely delighted to welcome Helen White to Norrie Waite & Slater, strengthening our well-established Criminal Defence Department at our Sheffield office.
Helen brings with her a wealth of experience and specialist knowledge from a highly varied background in criminal law. Originally training in serious and complex fraud, Helen worked extensively on Very High Cost Cases (VHCC), developing niche expertise in asset forfeiture, proceeds of crime, and restraint order proceedings.
Since 2010, Helen has focused on general criminal defence work, with her practice split between Manchester and Sheffield. Over the past 15 years, she has built a strong reputation for her work in complex and sensitive areas, including:
🔹 Protest law
🔹 Terrorism
🔹 Serious and organised crime
🔹 Drug importation cases (including EncroChat)
🔹 Murder and other serious offences
Helen’s approach is hands-on and client-focused. She is committed to providing thorough and robust defence from the police station stage through to the Crown Court, ensuring clients receive clear guidance and strong representation at every step.
In addition to her core criminal defence work, Helen has recently achieved success in defending against a range of quasi-civil applications, such as:
✔️ Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs)
✔️ Sexual Harm Prevention Orders (SHPOs)
✔️ Stalking Protection Orders
As a passionate defence specialist, Helen is ready to assist with any aspect of criminal defence – no matter how complex or challenging.
We’re thrilled to have her join the team and look forward to the valuable contribution she will make to our firm and our clients.
Welcome, Helen!
