A former DWF trainee has been banned, rebuked and ordered to pay costs by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for breach of her employment contract and disclosing confidential information.

The SRA found that former trainee Haley Tansey, based in the firm’s Manchester office, “disclosed confidential information and personal data” to a friend “on multiple occasions without the firm’s authority” between October 2014 and September 2017.
