An Eversheds Sutherland partner has been found dead after being accused of inappropriate behaviour, in another episode highlighting the difficulties law firms face in responding to #MeToo allegations.
Retail finance partner Geraint Thomas, who worked in the law firm's London and Cardiff offices, was accused of behaving inappropriately towards two female colleagues at a work Christmas party.
He was informed about the complaints on 17 December at the firm's London headquarters, and was found dead the next day at the bottom of the Southerndown cliffs on the Welsh coast, near Bridgend.
