Keoghs LLP

Keoghs LLP’s public sector casualty team is distinguished for its ‘market-leading’ work in defending public sector clients and their insurers, with notable social care and abuse claims specialisms. The Bristol-based team is led by Cynthia Watts, who ’stands out in in the field’ of adult social care and police-related claims, including those concerning abuse, human rights breaches, occupational stress, and wrongful arrest. Sarah Swan acts for local authorities, charities and non-profit organisations in high-profile abuse claims, while ‘rising star’ Maxine Hobbs specialises in employers’ and public liability claims, often involving chronic pain conditions. Michael Davies and Hayley Wilde are also key contacts.
