Hogan Lovells has suspended a partner in its London office for watching an adult video at work, with the firm reviewing its internet access policy as a result.
The partner was overseen by a lawyer in Irwin Mitchell’s London office, which is next door to Hogan Lovells’ Atlantic House base on Holborn Viaduct.
The Irwin Mitchell lawyer filmed the partner’s behaviour on their mobile phone, according to RollonFriday, and reported the incident to Hogan Lovells’ HR team.
The partner in question has now been suspended and the firm has begun an internal investigation into the episode.
A Hogan Lovells spokesperson said: “We were made aware of an individual in our office misusing their computer to watch adult material. Such behaviour is unacceptable and we have suspended them pending a full internal investigation.”
