UK: Ban for rookie solicitor who ‘misappropriated’ over £100k

Legal Cheek reports

A trainee solicitor has been barred from the legal profession after it emerged he had taken over £100,000 from insurance companies and his firm.

Tauseef Sadeeq has been slapped with a section 43 order by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which prevents him from working in a law firm without prior permission from the regulator.

Sadeeq worked as paralegal at Bolton outfit Jacob Miller Solicitors for 15 months between July 2019 and September 2020, according to a notice published this week by the SRA. The following month he became a trainee solicitor having secured a training contract with the same firm.
