A senior lawyer says it is healing for the women to win a legal result years after being sexually harassed by a senior employee at the firm, Russell McVeagh.
The Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal has found James Desmond Gardner-Hopkins guilty of six charges of sexual misconduct.
Most charges related to inappropriate sexual conduct by the firm's partner towards junior staff members at two Christmas functions in 2015.
Wellington Women Lawyers' Association convenor Steph Dyhrberg told reporter Charlotte Cook that people in the legal profession can have no excuses about understanding what is acceptable behaviour.
The punishment for Gardner-Hopkins has yet to be agreed.
