A London McDermott, Will & Emery partner has been rebuked by the Solicitors Regulation Authority for “wrongly” advising clients that a Zoom link of their libel trial could be shared with a third party.
In July 2020, partner Ziva Robertson, who joined McDermott’s London office from Withers in 2013, told her clients who she was defending in a libel trial that the Zoom link could be shared, breaching an order that there would be ”no transmission of a live transcript, audio or video feed of the trial”.
