Slaughter & May partner Oliver Storey has left the firm. Storey began work at the firm in 2006, made partner in 2016, and, according to a cached version of Slaughter & May’s website, his practice included “advising corporate, financial institution and public sector clients on a wide range of matters including bank lending, debt capital markets, acquisition financing, securitisation and restructuring and insolvency.”
But according to a statement by Senior Partner Steve Cooke, after an internal probe, “Oliver Storey has retired from the partnership with immediate effect.” Cooke went on to say:
“We expect the highest standards of behaviour from all our partners and staff. If these standards are called into question, we will not hesitate to investigate promptly and take whatever action is required.”
And what’s more is Cooke said that the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has been notified. Very interesting indeed.
