Lessons from the Post Office Scandal

About the Seminar:

In this talk Richard Moorhead will consider the ways in which lawyer conduct has been front and centre in the Post Office Scandal in evidence and in final submissions to the Post Office Inquiry. Lawyers senior and junior, in-house and in private practice, solicitors and barristers are likely to be severely criticised when the Inquiry reports. He will consider whether the lessons is that the Post Office employed and instructed bad apples or whether the cases illustrate ethics risks, in-house and in private practice,  to which all lawyers would be wise to pay greater attention
