Dennis O'Riordan, called to the Bar in 1993, was found to have engaged in dishonest or otherwise discreditable conduct by entering numerous false educational and professional qualifications on his Chambers' website (c.2007-2012), a former employer's website (c.2008), and his CV when applying to join Chambers (c.2012). False claims included Oxford BA/BCL/DPhil, Eldon Scholarship, Balliol College membership, a Harvard LLM, a UEA first-class degree, attendance at Radley College, and membership of the New York and Irish Bars - none of which were true. He was disbarred.
