The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal has found that Baker McKenzie’s former London head Gary Senior committed serious professional misconduct with his actions towards a junior colleague in 2012 and improperly seeking to influence the investigation and its outcome.

A panel of three judges at the U.K. industry disciplinary body delivered their decisions on Friday. The panel ruled that the evidence given in the tribunal proved that he had behaved in an inappropriate manner towards the complainant, Person A, and knew he was in a position of authority.
