Helen Molyneux

Helen Molyneux is a Welsh lawyer who founded and was the CEO of the UK personal injury law firm NewLaw Solicitors.

Life and career
Molyneux was born March 1965, in the Welsh town of Caerphilly. She studied law at Cardiff University and qualified as a solicitor in 1991.

On 24 April 2012 her firm Newlaw became the 1st Welsh and 4th overall practice to be licensed as an ABM by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The idea originated when Molyneux met a gentleman on a London train who owned an insurance brokers firm and they talked about the insurance market; they then came up with the idea of creating a law firm that manages personal injury claims from insurance companies and brokers.

In 2013, Molyneux was named Law Society Business Women of the year for employing over 470 people in the UK, turning over £35m annually in work with leading consumer brands. Molyneux later sold the firm.

Monumental Welsh Women
In 2016, Molyneux and four others came together to discuss the lack of statues in Wales dedicated to women; they then created the Monumental Welsh Women group with the aim of creating five statues around the country.

The first statue, of headteacher Betty Campbell, was unveiled in September 2021. Four more statues of Elaine Morgan, Elizabeth Andrews, Cranogwen and Lady Rhondda were to be created,   and a theatre show was planned.

Women Angels of Wales
Molyneux is one of the founders of Women Angels of Wales, an angel investment group.
