Convicted earlier this year
A trainee solicitor has been hit with restrictions on where and how he can work in the legal profession after being convicted of criminal offences.
Salhan Mukesh was working as a trainee solicitor at Birmingham’s MCS Solicitors when he was convicted in January 2025 of common assault and a racially aggravated public order offence at Dudley Magistrates’ Court.
According to a decision notice published by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the regulator found that Salhan’s conduct made it “undesirable for him to be involved in a legal practice” without prior SRA approval.
As a result, Mukesh is now subject to a section 43 order, which prevents him from being employed by any solicitor or law firm regulated by the SRA unless the regulator grants permission.
Mukesh — who, according to the notice, remains employed by the firm — has also been ordered to pay £1,350 in SRA costs.
