The solicitor was totally wrong. There is never an excuse for a solicitor to pander to the racist, sexist or other prejudiced views of a client. As a retired solicitor and managing partner with over 40 years in the law, I saw too many examples of solicitors over-identifying with their clients to the detriment of their professional duty to comply with the code of conduct. It is not in the best interests of a client to have their case progressed on the basis of prejudice even if it is their own.
