Holman Fenwick Willan partner Shyamal Jeewoolall has been fined by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for breaches of its rules while at his former firm, Norton Rose Fulbright.
Jeewoolall is an asset and structured finance partner in Holman Fenwick's Dubai office. According to his Linkedin profile he joined the firm in 2014 from Norton Rose, where he was a senior associate.
A decision published on the SRA website on 27 June states that he was found to have breached Principle 2 and 6 of the SRA Overseas Rules 2013 during his time at Norton Rose.
He has been fined £1,000 and ordered to pay costs of £1,300. The SRA has also issued him a written rebuke.
The SRA Overseas Principle 2 states: "You must act with integrity", while Overseas Principle 6 states: "You must not do anything which will or will be likely to bring into disrepute the overseas practice, yourself as a regulated individual or responsible authorised body or, by association, the legal profession in and of England and Wales."
The SRA declined to provide further details about the reasons for Jeewoolall's fine and rebuke.
Jeewoolall qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales in 2004 and as an Avocat a la Cour d'Appel de Paris in 2012. He advises clients in the aviation industry on issues such as aircraft finance and leasing transactions.
In a statement, Norton Rose Fulbright said: "We can confirm that Shyamal Jeewoolall was an employee with Norton Rose Fulbright at the time the misconduct was discovered. No identifiable loss was suffered by Norton Rose Fulbright or any client."
