Linklaters carried out an internal investigation in the wake of complaints of fraudulent billing lodged against the firm by a former paralegal, an employment tribunal heard yesterday (11 June).
The firm last year carried out a one-week investigation within its London legal services centre into the allegations after Ali Hussain – who joined Linklaters on a temporary paralegal contract in 2009 and was offered a fixed-term position in May 2011 – claimed former manager Hasan Bayat was fraudulently billing for time when he was not working.
