Former Baker McKenzie London head Gary Senior agreed that his behaviour towards a junior associate in 2012 had amounted to sexual harassment, in the third day of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal hearing into the incident.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority’s (SRA) counsel Andrew Tabachnik QC asked Senior in cross-examination on Wednesday whether he accepted Senior’s own version of events had amounted to sexual harassment, to which Senior replied: “Yes.”
