Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has voted in favour of a new conduct framework, which includes fining badly behaved partners and establishing a conduct committee.
The partner vote on the new conduct framework closed on Monday, a person with knowledge of the firm's internal workings said. The person added that, as per the firm's membership agreement, the vote needed to pass a 75% threshold to succeed.
The new protocol comprises a fine for bad behaviour that could see partners hit with a 20% profit share cut for 12 months, if they fall subject to an internal investigation that results in a final warning about their behaviour.
