A barrister representing City law firm Linklaters and one of its former senior staff members has denied accusations at an employment tribunal that the staff member made inappropriate sexual advances towards a contractor.

The contractor alleged that the staff member grabbed her buttocks in a restaurant. The Linklaters representative told an employment tribunal on 15 June that the incident “didn’t happen”.
