Andrew Nulty, former model, BBC presenter and now lawyer has been struck off by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal for his part in the miners’ compensation scandal. Nulty, who launched Avalon Solicitors in 2001 is the third lawyer to be booted from the profession for his conduct in the compensation scheme. Jim Beresford and Douglas Smith of Beresford Solicitors were the first to be banned over the scandal.
In 2005-06 Avalon acheived £21.2m in fees and made a net profit of £15.5m. Nulty and the only other equity partner in the business, Anthony Chorlton, saw their PEP rise to £7.75m. Magic Circle eat your heart out. Nulty took the largest share of approximately £13m and Chorlton made nearly £2.5m.
Nulty, who boasted about the £13m fortune he made off the back of sick miners has paid for it with his practicing certificate and with an order for an interim payment of £60,000 towards costs. We’re sure he’s gutted, having left the firm a while ago and moved to Spain!

I have noticed how many of my colleagues find these guys’ behaviour reprihensible. However, they are happy to suck up to organisations that have indiscriminately ripped people off left right and centre, our banks primarily. Is there a sniff of swine envy in the air.

Class – screw the downtrodden, fill your boots and bugger off to Spain. Maybe he should return as a politician or a banker.

I don’t think that it’s him in the picture. Unless he paints his toenails.

His legs aren’t bad either.

Do the Spanish have any sick miners – if so anyone fancy a jaunt , it must be worth opening an office
