A lawyer who claimed she worked 28 hours a day to bag herself a £70,000 bonus has been struck off.

Samina Ahmed regularly fiddled her timesheets to inflate the hours she worked, with 133 days exceeding 24 hours.

She did it to qualify for the 400% bonus scheme at firm Tuckers, where she had worked for 17 years by the time the scam was rumbled in 2024.
