Professor Vaughan delivered the annual Master鈥檚 Lecture at the City of London Solicitors鈥� Company, on the topic of professional integrity.

On Monday 3 June, Professor Steven Vaughan (Professor of Law and Professional Ethics at 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws) gave the 2024 鈥楳aster鈥檚 Lecture鈥� on behalf of Sarah de Gay, Master Solicitor of the City of London Solicitors鈥� Company.听
听
Professor Vaughan spoke to the title 鈥楳oral Remainders: What is the Price of Professional Integrity?鈥� to a full-house room of lawyers of all kinds (barristers and judges as well as solicitors), other professionals, and Masters of the City of London livery companies.听
听
In the talk, Professor Vaughan considered the legal requirement on solicitors (and other professionals) to 鈥榓ct with integrity鈥�: reflecting on professional codes of conduct and the associated case law; and exploring different types of integrity cases with those in the room. These spanned: cases with potentially complex facts and legal issues (lawyers drafting Non-Disclosure Agreements; lawyers engaging in strategic litigation against public participation); cases when law firms do things that do not sit well with their publicly-stated values; and cases where lawyers see the personal and the professional in tension (such as acts of conscience, and deciding when/how to act for certain clients given the lawyers鈥� personal beliefs).

Sarah de Gay, the Master Solicitor, commented:
听
鈥淚 promised, when I took office, to 鈥淎mplify!鈥� and for me this lecture was an example of amplification in action 鈥� a brilliant lecture, suitably challenging and controversial of course, to a packed room! It started a really interesting conversation between individual lawyers from different law firms and other professionals which I hope continues.鈥�
