Anthony Inglese sought advice on accepting a role as a Consultant for Simmons & Simmons, an international law firm.

In considering the application, the Committee noted that Mr Inglese did not have any contractual dealings and was not responsible for people who had contractual dealings with his prospective employer during his last two years of service.

The letter containing the final advice was sent in June 2015 and he took up the appointment in July 2015.
