A formidable advocate in complex commercial litigation

When our company faced a high-stakes contract dispute that threatened our operations, Robert Keen was the clear choice. His deep expertise in commercial litigation, honed over four decades, was immediately evident. He guided us through the process with exceptional clarity and strategic foresight, ultimately securing a favorable settlement. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year is well-deserved. Robert’s professionalism and command of the courtroom are unmatched. I would not hesitate to engage him for any significant business legal matter.
