He completed his training in Kent qualifying as a solicitor in 2004 and has specialised in family law since this time. He has many years' experience in family law having previously been responsible for developing the Family department of a niche firm in North London. Whilst there, Keith also had overall responsibility for the first group of claims within the blacklisting litigation in the High Court which “The Lawyer” deemed one of the Top 20 cases of 2016. Keith’s firm was one of the lead solicitors and as such managed the claims of over 800 construction workers against Sir Robert McAlpine and a number of other construction companies. This case settled with claimants receiving almost £25 million compensation.
