Three months after the Harvey Weinstein scandal engulfed Hollywood, sexual harassment still tops the news agenda. With the legal profession as guilty as any other, growing numbers of firms are being drawn into the headlines.

Lawyers at Mishcon de Reya, BLP, Fried Frank and Kingsley Napley have found themselves embroiled in this week's scandal – the revelations of groping and inappropriate behaviour at the men-only Presidents Club Charity dinner.

While there are no insinuations that any of the four men were involved in the allegedly inappropriate events taking place at the dinner, their names were on the guestlist for the controversial evening, where sexual harassment was revealed by an undercover Financial Times reporter.
