Junior lawyer struck off despite 'abominable' workplace conditions

A junior lawyer has been struck off for dishonesty – despite having endured conditions described as “abominable” at her place of work.

Law Gazette reports that Sovani James, now 35, was a junior lawyer with south east firm McMillan Williams when she backdated four letters to make it look as if she was working on a clinical negligence case, resulting in her being struck off.
