Konrad Malik

Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

Konrad Malik, a securities/corporate lawyer who relocated to Europe in 2013, admitted under Rule 4-29 to professional misconduct contrary to s. 38(4) of the Legal Profession Act. Between October 2011 and May 2012, while representing G Inc., a Nevada shell company, he failed to make reasonable inquiries or exercise due diligence regarding the legitimacy of the business: he never confirmed instructions directly with the company's listed directors/officers (VG and JB), took instructions from consultants, and prepared and filed documents effecting a change of control and 100% share transfer without confirming instructions or reporting to the client. The Discipline Committee accepted his proposal; he undertook for nine months not to practise law and not to seek reinstatement, and the admission was recorded on his professional conduct record. No express finding of dishonesty was made; no fine or costs were stated.

Duties found breached:

• No baseless or threatened misconduct report
• No conflict between current clients
• No improper solicitation or touting
• Proper termination and return of instructions

Mitigating factors:

• Residence overseas
• Not an active Law Society member for seven years
• Willingness to make admissions
• Absence of a disciplinary record
