The UK Law Gazette reports
The director of a law firm who boasted online about his successes in cases involving children with special needs has been rebuked by regulators. The Solicitors Regulation Authority today said Mark Small should face no further action other than a reprimand and an order to pay £600 costs.
Small, a solicitor and director of Milton Keynes firm Baker Small Legal Services Ltd, posted a tweet in June reporting a ‘great win’ at a tribunal, before posting five further tweets.
His firm had acted for local authorities at tribunals where the special educational needs of children were considered.
In a notice published by the regulator, the SRA said Small had admitted the content of the tweets was ‘unprofessional and offensive’ and that he had failed to behave in a way that maintains the trust the public places in him.
