A partner from RWK Goodman’s family team has been announced as the host for an upcoming leading family law conference in Birmingham.

The naming of Keeley as this year’s host follows alongside her recent nominations at the Chambers UK Awards and LexisNexis Family Law Awards for her work advocating for George’s Law, pushing to allow leave for those who suffer a pregnancy loss before 24 weeks gestation.
