Keith Doherty

Senior Lawyer

Keith is a Senior Solicitor working within the family team.

Keith attended Queens University in Belfast, followed by the LPC course at York College of Law. 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.

Wanting to stay committed to his chosen field of family law and wishing to work closer to home, Keith returned to Kent, gaining five more years of working in well known regional law firms before joining CWJ in October 2021.

“ What truly sets CWJ apart is their genuine commitment to their clients.
Alex took the time to listen to my concerns, patiently answered all my questions, and provided clear and concise explanations every step of the way. His ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a manner that was easy to understand even to me as a foreigner was truly invaluable.”

“I had no idea of the redundancy process and was quite overwhelmed but Faye was clear and ensured I fully understood my options and the details of the settlement contract I was signing. She was sympathetic to my situation, providing the support I required. Everyone at CWJ in contact with me regarding this matter was kind and approachable. Thanks so much for your help.”

“ I am so pleased with the services provided by CWJ, firstly in helping me with the probate of my mothers estate, and then with the conveyance service when the time came to sell the property.”

“ I needed to contact the Land Registry after changing my name by Deed Poll. I needed a solicitor to verify my identity. Alis responded quickly to my initial email and I was booked in to see them the next day. Alis and Andrew were friendly and professional as well as being fast and efficient. I would certainly contact them again for help I might need regarding wills and conveyancing.”

“Thanks to Faye’s guidance and expertise, I was able to navigate through Employee Settlement Agreement with confidence and peace of mind. The service was quick and efficient, the communication was great. Faye is very approachable and compassionate and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

It hasn’t been an easy 4 years but I have finally reached my desired outcome which wouldn’t have been possible without Sandy’s advice and support. Sandy has been a pleasure to have alongside me during these proceedings.Couldn’t recommend enough!"
