ABOUT HELOU LAW

Meet Nafela

Nafela Helou founded Helou Law with the vision that the firm would be a trusted partner for businesses and employees. After spending her career in larger firms, working behind the scenes to help build multi-million dollar businesses, Nafela saw the need for a new type of firm, one that can offer the flexibility that evolving businesses need. Helou Law is founded upon the belief that every business is unique, so its legal advice should be too.

Nafela’s entire career has focused on leading employers through every aspect of the employment relationship: from recruitment through termination. Her practice encompasses all major areas of employment law, but offers a specific focus on preventing expensive and consuming litigation by helping business leaders make proactive plans as a means of achieving prosperity and protecting their future.

Nafela is more than just an attorney—she is uniquely positioned to help clients at the intersection of law and business, acting as both legal representation and business advisor. Knowing that she wanted to stand above her peers and offer exceptional, practical advice, Nafela pursued a Masters of Business Administration in addition to her law degree. This synergistic quality elevates Nafela’s ability to craft solutions for clients that are customized, creative, and cost-effective.


She has spent her career working with the largest companies and brands in the world, which inspired her to start her own firm to offer her employment law expertise to startups and small businesses that want to optimize their current positions or forge paths that lead to enterprise-level growth, as well as to employees who need a voice when facing challenging workplace issues. 

Before founding Helou Law, Nafela was an attorney in larger firms where she focused her practice on human resources operations, employment counseling, EEOC and administrative proceedings, employment litigation, and more. 

Nafela is a driven, dependable, and creative legal mind whose life has been rooted in entrepreneurship since she was a child. As the daughter of entrepreneurs who turned a single store into a nationally successful company, she knows what it takes to build and protect a business. And since you have given it your all to achieve your dreams, let Nafela ensure that those dreams thrive through personalized employment law and labor management solutions. 

  • The only possible attribute that surpasses Nafela’s knowledge of the law is her availability. I have learned over my career that issues are not beholden to my calendar, so it was always comforting to know that Nafela was only a call away. Additionally, like other in-house counsel, the attorneys that I rely on most don’t just recite the law. Instead, they make it a point to understand my business and help me navigate this ever-changing terrain. Nafela has consistently demonstrated the willingness and aptitude to understand my organization, which is why she is one of my most trusted advisors.
