POLICY WIRE — London, UK — Michael Alexander, a prominent lawyer, has been struck off the professional register following a series of sexual harassment allegations involving female employees. The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) deemed his actions as ‘deliberate, repeated, — and persistent’ misconduct.

The decision comes after a thorough investigation into multiple complaints filed against Alexander. The SDT concluded that his actions were in direct violation of professional conduct standards.

This case underscores the stringent measures taken by UK legal authorities to address workplace harassment and maintain professional integrity within the legal community.
