Attorney Kader Sheik Muhammad struck off the roll for failing to comply with LPC regulations

Attorney Kader Sheik Muhammad has been struck off the roll by the Legal Practice Council (LPC) for failing to comply with regulations. Muhammad was suspended in August 2023 following investigations into discrepancies in trust ledgers, bank statements, and reconciliation records. Allegations included practicing without a Fidelity Fund certificate and mishandling trust monies.

The LPC accused him of attending conveyancing matters without a conveyancing license. Despite being ordered to submit necessary documents, Muhammad failed to comply, causing delays in the investigation. The court found that Muhammad's actions undermined transparency and public protection. Additionally, Muhammad was found to have appeared in court on behalf of clients during his suspension, which the court deemed as dishonesty.

Muhammad admitted to his misconduct, apologizing for his actions, particularly assisting a cousin in a domestic violence case. The court concluded that Muhammad's conduct and lack of integrity did not meet the standards required for a fit and proper person to practice as an attorney.
