A London law firm has launched an investigation over allegations some of its senior lawyers mistreated a 22-year-old manager at a restaurant in Cardiff, it has been reported. Ince, a London Law firm, confirmed to the Telegraph that a formal investigation has been launched after Lee Skeet, who runs Cora in the Pontcanna area, complained that some staff had subjected staff member Lily Griffiths to "inappropriate behaviour" after a visit.
Last week, the owner tweeted the email he sent to the company, stating Lily, a front of house member of staff, was "talked down to, disrespected, and touched unwantedly". He later clarified that the "touching" he referred to involved one of the party of six "grabbing her aggressively by the arm".
The Telegraph reports that the firm had been in Cardiff for a two-day management meeting for Ince's senior lawyers, and racked up a £1,000 bill during their visit after the party got through seven bottles of wine. Originally, Lee offered to return the £1,000 to the party - minus a £100 tip for their server after a tip was not left for her - however later decided against it and gave the full amount to Lily.
