Pépin Aslett in Freezing Injunction Case

March 25, 2025

The High Court has frozen the assets of a barred law firm director amid a dispute with the firm’s ex-owner. The order warned Dorota Newman she would be held in contempt of court if she sought to disobey it. The freezing injunction was sought by solicitor Jay Sahota, who sold Jarmans Solicitors to Newman in 2023. The firm was shut down by the Solicitors Regulation Authority last year on the basis of suspected dishonesty by Newman, who is not a solicitor.

Pépin Aslett represented Mr Sahota. He was instructed by Akbar Ali of Ali Legal Ltd.

The case has been covered in the Law Society Gazette.
