A London employee at U.S. firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr has been fined by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) after she was convicted of entering an aircraft drunk and assaulting staff on the plane.
Michelle Marie Van Buskirk was fined £2,000 by the SRA for the misconduct on the flight, which took place last year.
It was widely reported at the time that she drunkenly assaulted a member of the cabin crew onboard a flight bound for the U.S., causing the plane to be diverted back to Heathrow for safety reasons.
