Hamlins Partner Christopher Hutchings cleared of alleged misconduct by Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal

The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal has today found in favour of our Partner, Christopher Hutchings, dismissing all allegations of alleged misconduct, vindicating the outstanding professional reputation he has enjoyed throughout his long and successful career.

Chris has had our unwavering support, and this hearing is the culmination of a two-year ordeal, during which he has been required to defend his professional reputation as a result of these claims.

This process, alongside the anonymisation of the majority of the witnesses and key events, aside from Mr Hutchings, has placed a great deal of pressure on Chris, but he has nevertheless stood up to an unfounded claim arising from a successful libel case properly brought by him, against the complainant, on behalf of his professional client.

He now looks forward to continuing his long and successful career with our firm. We are satisfied the tribunal has dismissed these claims and found entirely in Chris’s favour.
