Steve Keeling

Steve Keeling, Consultant, DG Legal

Steve joined DG Legal after leaving the Legal Aid Agency in August 2016.  In his 17 years at the LAA, he worked in the audit team as both auditor and manager and was a Contract Manager for several years.

Steve is also a certified SQM auditor and undertakes audits on behalf of Recognising Excellence as well as running training sessions for the SQM Audit Team periodically.

Steve has had some early experience of the remote audit process in the last few weeks, both in terms of auditing firms and assisting DG Legal clients in preparing for a remote audit and can therefore bring practical experience of the process to the training session.
