SDT Removes Restrictions on Solicitor Turned Compliance Consultant
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) has removed restrictions on a solicitor who became a compliance consultant after being suspended for three years.
Rajob Ali was initially fined £15,000 by the SDT for his misconduct in 2014, but after the Solicitor Regulation Authority (SRA) appealed to the High Court, the case was remitted to the tribunal for re-sentencing.
Conditions were imposed on Mr Ali’s practising certificate, preventing him from being a law firm manager or owner, a compliance officer, and holding or receiving client money.
