Helen Goldberg
Co-Founder & COO @ LegalEdge
Helen co-founded LegalEdge 15 years ago and is its COO. Their amazing team provide fractional in-house counsel services to many well-known fast growth companies.
They focus on pragmatic, straightforward legal solutions, keeping it simple, avoiding over-lawyering, and integrating into operations efficiently. By developing lean and scalable documentation and processes, they reduce risk, help you manage the budget, and get deals done quicker.
Before LegalEdge, Helen was Head of Legal at various tech and media companies, having been persuaded to move in-house with a client from a large international law firm. (She still describes herself as a recovering M&A / Private Equity lawyer.)
An early member of the Operations Nation community, Helen is a big advocate for its role in supporting operations professionals. Helen is also a champion for flexible working, having been "let go" from a Head of Legal job whilst on maternity leave. (It happens more than you’d think.)
Helen also mentors and advises startups, scaleups, and their in-house lawyers.
