A paralegal who worked at Linklaters for over ten years has been
jailed for 12 months after he admitted fleecing the firm of £86,000.
Raza Kanval, 36, fraudulently photocopied signed invoices to benefit his friend, Karim Rashid, so that he was paid twice for the work his company did for Linklaters. Rashid’s business was struggling and, at Linklaters’ expense, Kanval thought he’d throw him a lifeline. But that didn't really work, as Rashis pissed it away down the casino instead.
Kanval was suspended from the Magic Circle firm in March 2012 and was dismissed later that year. He admitted one charge of fraud at the Old Bailey.
A chatty Linklaters spokesman said “we now regard the matter closed and have no further comment to make”.
