Keith’s public law work over a long period of time was nationally recognised and rewarded with Winner of the Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Award (LALY award) 2017.

Nomination for the LALY award included:

“Keith Lomax’s distinguishing characteristics are an absolute determination to do his best for his clients, a real sense of compassion, with a keen legal mind and enormous intellectual ability. You can guarantee that if there is a point that is arguable, Keith will pursue it. If there is a case to be made, Keith will argue it…”

“I have always felt that Keith really, really cares: you feel like he likes his clients, that he understands them and that he empathises with them. Yet he remains professional and has never lost the ability to recognise when a case or a point no longer has sufficient merit.”
