In this senior leadership role, Keane will focus on expanding DLA’s expertise, particularly in matrimonial litigation support, forensic accounting, and business valuation across its key markets.
Keane brings over 25 years of specialized experience to DLA, having established a strong background in complex financial investigations and high-stakes disputes.

Notably, Keane also held a leadership role for a publicly traded cancer diagnostics company in New York City. Initially reviewing publicly announced accounting irregularities, he uncovered multiple instances of fraud committed by senior management, which contributed to the company’s eventual bankruptcy filing. Following the investigation, he helped retrain the accounting staff and streamline operations for the subsequent sale of the company’s assets.
