Solicitor Kean faces 6 charges of misconduct

Well-known solicitor Gerald Kean has appeared before a sitting of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal to face six charges of alleged professional misconduct.

A former client, Christopher O’Neill, claims Mr Kean failed to act on a number of instructions in relation to a dispute he had with a Co Cork-based marine engineering firm.

Other grounds of complaint relate to allegations that the solicitor knowingly misled Mr O’Neill about the work he had carried out on his behalf and failed to provide a duty of care.
