Keri’s public law practice is predominantly focused on matters where the rights of individuals come up against the state, whether as children or adults.
She has advised and acted in judicial review proceedings in matters varying from challenges made to adoption and fostering decisions to the provision of care packages.
Her background in local government has given her experience of the challenges facing public bodies and brings that experience to her cases whether acting for or against public bodies.
In line with this Keri has also advised and acted in inquests where the role of the state is in question.
