Steph Dyhrberg: lawyer representing victims of former Russell McVeagh partner found guilty of sexual assault on Gardner-Hopkins returning to law
The lawyer representing victims of a former Russell McVeagh partner, whose behaviour helped ignite New Zealand’s #MeToo movement, says it’ll be up to clients whether they want to work with him.
James Gardner-Hopkins was found guilty of six misconduct charges by the Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal in 2021 - and suspended for three years.
He’s now been granted a new practising certificate by the Law Society, which says he’s fit to return as a barrister.
Steph Dyhrberg says the decision will put some clients off, but others may not see it as a barrier.
"That's the thing about having a practicing certificate, you've sort of got a brand on you from the Law Society that you're a fit and suitable person."
