A DAC Beachcroft litigation executive has been banned from legal practice after the SRA found he had “misled” a client and “falsified documents”.

An SRA ruling last week found that Brendan Ferris, a litigation executive at the firm between 2009 and 2014, had “misled” a client in relation to court proceedings, specifically the service of two claim forms, and also misinformed them as to “whether an enquiry agent had been engaged” on another matter.
