NLJ this week: Conduct post-Beckwith

35718
The approach to regulation of professional conduct outside of practice stands on a firmer footing post the Ryan Beckwith case

Writing in NLJ this week, Russell-Cooke senior partner John Gould takes a detailed look at this case.

As Gould says, ‘the approach to conduct which is not in the course of providing legal services, particularly where sex is involved, has not had a secure foundation for years. No judgment provides an answer for every permutation of facts which may arise in the future, but this one has at least put the correct questions on the table’.
