Helen O'Connell

Senior Associate

Helen O'Connell

I completed a combined Bachelor of Arts (History) / Bachelor of Laws degree at Monash University in 2002 and commenced my Articles of Clerkship at Wisewoulds in March 2003.

Wisewoulds is a fantastic firm for young solicitors. I enjoy one on one time with the Partners and Senior Associates of the firm and have been exposed to large matters from the outset of my career.

I am currently a member of the Commercial Litigation Department and thoroughly enjoy the challenging work on offer. I practice principally in the areas of commercial dispute resolution and corporate and personal insolvency. I hope to compound my litigation experience in the next few years by undertaking a Masters of Law.

For the last three and a half years I have volunteered at the Peninsula Community Legal Centre in Bentleigh. This experience has provided me further opportunity to delve into areas of law that I don’t deal with on a day to day basis and provide greater access to the law to the underprivileged.

Away from Wisewoulds I like to spend time relaxing with friends and family. I am an avid reader and also enjoy travelling, snow-skiing and shopping. My long-term travel goal is to walk the Inca Trail in Peru!
