A former DLA Piper associate has been struck off by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) and asked to pay £6,000 in costs after admitting to fabricating her qualifications.
Tania Bains joined DLA in September 2015 as an associate in the finance and projects team, after completing a two-year training contract with Liverpool-headquartered Weightmans. She had previously taken a summer vacation placement with the regional firm.
