A disciplinary tribunal has struck off a prominent City solicitor after finding he made dishonest transfers amounting to almost £400,000.
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal found all allegations against Tony Norman Guise proven, together with breaches of principles and account rules. They also found that he acted dishonestly.
Guise, a former chair of the Commercial Litigation Association (CLAN) and former member of the Law Society s Civil Justice Committee, was accused of transferring £353,000 out of his firm’s client account without authorisation between 2014 and 2015. The money formed more than half of a former client’s divorce settlement.
