‘Show me someone who says they have never lied and I’ll show you a liar,’ writes John Gould, senior partner, Russell Cooke, in NLJ this week

‘Show me someone who says they have never lied and I’ll show you a liar,’ writes John Gould, senior partner, Russell Cooke, in NLJ this week

In the second of a two-part article on conduct outside the workplace that could be considered professional misconduct, Gould considers the importance of two concepts: ‘risk’ and ‘brand’.

‘It does not follow that morally doubtful conduct outside of practice automatically demonstrates a lack of ethical fitness for practice,’ he writes. ‘Even respectable people, for example, lie in ways which they don’t consider matter.’
