Triple-jobbing solicitor is struck off in Britain

A solicitor has been struck off for working three jobs at the same time and billing three firms for the same hours, the England and Wales Gazette reports.

Belinda Sarkodie, who claimed to work 100 hours per week, had juggled jobs for Property Legal (Manchester) Limited (PLS), Wright & Lord Solicitors Limited (W&L), and Muve (Trading name Connect 2 Law) simultaneously, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal disciplinary heard.

Misled firms

Between 29 June 2021 and 16 July 2021, she misled two of the firms where she worked as a locum by submitting timesheets and claiming payment for the same hours on the same dates from both firms, while she was also employed to work full-time by a third law firm, the Solicitors Regulation Authority alleged.

Her contract with her main employer, Muve, stated that she was to work solely for them.

Sarkodie misled Muve into thinking she was working there full-time, while working two other roles for PLS and W&L during her period of employment, the SDT found.
