Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer’s review of how UBS responded to a complaint of serious sexual misconduct has been described as a “whitewash” by the woman who made the allegations.

The former graduate trainee, who alleged she was raped by a senior colleague at the bank, told Legal Week, Law.com’s London affiliate, that the Magic Circle firm had “overlooked many pieces of evidence” and “chosen to shut their eyes to UBS’s flawed misconduct processes.”
