The SRA referred Nicholas Williams to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal due to allegations of inappropriate conduct from December 2017, leading to a two-year suspension and £66,000 in costs.
The SDT found that Williams engaged in inappropriate and unwanted conduct toward Person A in December 2017, prompting significant consequences for his professional standing.
Freshfields has implemented new conduct rules for partners, which include fines of 20% of profit shares, in response to past inappropriate behavior by former partners.
