One hospitalised client was left scrambling for urgent legal documents — only for the lawyer to later claim she was glad for the extra time. The prosecution argues this reflects a broken firm culture fueled by the lawyer’s overseas absences and digital-only communication, while the defence insists it’s an internal HR issue, not professional misconduct. Further charges include failing to refer clients for independent advice, practising without proper authority, and abandoning a Family Court case. The tribunal has reserved its decision, warning that without objective supervision standards, the legal profession risks a “race to the bottom.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
