Helen Midgley

Cases involving relationship breakdown often mean advising clients during the most challenging times of their lives, so finding favourable, long term and practical solutions for a better future for my clients is always my focus.

As a member of Resolution and the Family Mediation Council, I adhere to Codes of Conduct, which means I endeavour to resolve family issues constructively as a Solicitor, Mediator, and Resolution Together practitioner.

I am committed to providing excellent client care. This means listening carefully to each client’s particular needs and working diligently to ensure that my clients receive high-quality legal advice clearly and are kept regularly updated about the progress of their cases.

I qualified as a solicitor in September 2015, completing my training contract here at Tees. I was promoted to Associate in 2019 and Senior Associate in 2021, before joining the partnership at Tees in 2024.

I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2011 with a first-class honours degree in History. I then completed the Graduate Diploma in Law at BBP Waterloo, London, and the Legal Practice Course (Distinction) at the University of Law.

I am also the firm’s Training Principal and responsible for supporting the progression of junior lawyers through their careers at Tees. I manage the trainee recruitment process and our annual Vacation Scheme.

Shortlisted as a finalist for the Resolution NCDR Practitioner of the Year 2026.
