  • Suspension for solicitor who ran firm without authorisation

    A solicitor who practised as a sole practitioner for over three years without authorisation after her partner left has been suspended for nine months.

    The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) described Michelle Niaz as “an experienced solicitor who was aware of her regulatory responsibilities” and had the procedural knowledge required to replace a partner, as she had done previously.

    As well as her “overarching duties as a solicitor”, Ms Niaz was COLP and COFA of Lewis Mitchell Solicitors in Lancashire and “therefore had enhanced specific responsibilities to ensure compliance”.
