A Brandon lawyer is facing a number of Law Society of Manitoba charges, one of which is sexual harassment.
Ryan William Fawcett who was barred from contacting female colleagues for any non-work-related purposes has also been charged with breach of an undertaking to the law society and conduct unbecoming of a lawyer.
Fawcett was barred in July 2020 from contacting any female lawyers in Manitoba for any purpose except work-related matters.
Those restrictions were expanded in October 2020 to include any woman who is a legal assistant, or employee of the courts.
Ryan practices law in Brandon with Legal Aid Manitoba.
