C.K Law is run by Charlotte Keating
C.K Law is run by Charlotte Keating, a specialist private client solicitor with over 11 years’ experience in highly respected city law firms. Charlotte qualified as a solicitor in February 2014 and has been leading private client departments since 2019.
Although Charlotte enjoyed her time growing and managing teams, she became frustrated by the rigid structures, high volume of management meetings and the primary focus on billing targets prevalent in traditional law firms. As such, Charlotte created C.K Law so that she could focus more on what matters most and what she enjoys: providing bespoke high-level legal advice dedicated to you.
If you instruct Charlotte to be your solicitor, you will become a client of Bexley Beaumont, of which Charlotte is a Partner. This ensures that you receive the full benefits and protection of instructing a legal practice regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Charlotte will conduct your matter throughout.
Charlotte supports individuals both within their personal capacity, and within their capacities as fiduciaries, business owners, farmers and charities.
