A former Clyde & Co partner has been rebuked by the Solicitors Regulation Authority for having “failed to have sufficient regard for the well-being of a female trainee solicitor” at a work-related event in 2017.

Peter Walmsley was a partner in Clyde & Co’s catastrophic injury practice in Manchester when the event took place, but was dismissed from the firm in 2018. He is now a partner with the law firm Horwich Farrelly.
