Law firm Russell McVeagh is investigating a complaint about a partner making inappropriate comments while attending a client event.
The partner allegedly made the comments at the event while under the influence of alcohol and has been restricted from the workplace while an independent investigation is underway.
Chair Malcolm Crotty said a more detailed statement following the outcome of the investigation will be released in the next 10 working days.
