A partner in Allen & Overy’s London office has resigned after his romantic encounter at the office was captured in a video that has been circulating online for several months.
The video was shot through the law firm’s window by a passerby, RollOnFriday reports in a story noted by Legal Cheek and Above the Law.
The video is captioned, “Ughhh! Someone is staying late at the office.” The video includes a logo reading, “Parental Advisory Explicit Content.”
RollOnFriday describes the partner as “older” and “white-haired,” and his romantic partner as a younger woman.
An Allen & Overy spokesperson released this statement to RollOnFriday. “The video depicts inappropriate workplace conduct which is not in line with our Code of Conduct. The matter has been investigated and addressed in line with the firm’s internal processes.”
Says Above the Law, “Hopefully the lawyer will learn what is and is not acceptable at work … and that you can, in fact, see through glass.”
