Obiter applauds Helen Molyneux, managing partner and director of New Law Legal in Cardiff, for winning Woman of the Year at the Welsh Women Mean Business Awards this month.

Molyneux ditched a partnership with a global law firm to set up the firm in 2004 after ‘meeting a man on a train’.

She describes how she met her future business partner, who owned an insurance broker’s, on a train from London; during the journey they came up with the idea of setting up a law firm that would manage claims that came from brokers, and the rest is history.

Train delays clearly have their uses.
