Two senior litigators from Allen & Overy (A&O) face the possibility of an investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) following allegations of misconduct during a high profile fraud case.
A hearing on Wednesday (26 March) at Southwark Crown Court revealed that the Magic Circle firm had referred itself to the SRA due to a controversial meeting attended last year by two of its partners, David Esseks and Peter Watson.
