A barrister has been suspended for groping two fellow female legal workers on a boozy night out.
Duncan Maxwell-Stewart was so intoxicated he began dancing on the tables of a bar, a disciplinary hearing was told.
The lawyer invited one of the women - who worked in the same chambers - onto the dance floor before lifting her skirt up and 'revealing her underwear'.
He later groped the bottom of a junior solicitor who was also on the night out, who he had met just three times before.
