Man City legal fallout: Tom Forster KC interviewed by The Times and The Guardian

Tom Forster KC was asked to provide expert commentary to The Times and The Guardian on the potential legal consequences arising from the Manchester City football club case.

In The Times, Tom comments on the possible regulatory implications for lawyers if the independent commission’s findings are upheld, including the scrutiny that could follow from the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the potential sanctions available where professional misconduct or dishonesty is established and the wider consequences for lawyers involved in advising on or drafting the arrangements under examination.

His commentary appears alongside Joseph Hume of Corker Binning and Ali Parker, Head of Crime and Regulatory at Saunders Law.

Speaking separately to The Guardian, Tom considers the prospect of possible criminal proceedings arising from the case, the potential exposure of individuals and organisations if wrongdoing were ultimately established, and the wider consequences that could follow from any further investigation by the relevant authorities.
