68% Informative
Zukhraf Baig admitted to using US$ 10,000 from client credit cards to pay for porn.
Baig accessed client credit card information on at least 60 occasions in 2020 and 2021 to pay online “sexting’s” services.
He also admitted to altering a cheque his firm issued to a third -party vendor and depositing the money in his personal bank account.
The Law Society of Alberta has disbarred Baig and referred his case for potential prosecution.
Baig was “very early” in the recovery process and “adduced no objective evidence of sobriety” at the time of the hearing.
He was also deceptive with his employer, police, and the law society investigator, and only admitted what he had done after he got caught.
Committee said it considered the impact of disbarring Baig on other lawyers struggling with mental health or addiction issues.
