Jane Keir has commented on what she aims to achieve during her 3-year tenure, stating that she wishes to ‘strengthen life-long relationships with our domestic and international clients and referrers; to demystify clients' engagement with the legal process; and to continue to ensure that the firm is a stimulating and rewarding place to work.'

Jane Keir will continue to practice as a family lawyer, combining her new role alongside client work.
