Ms Ahmed-Sheikh, who is also Alex Salmond’s broadcast partner on Russia Today (RT), will appear before the Scottish Solicitors Discipline Tribunal for a five-day hearing from January 14.
She will be under scrutiny in a case related to the defunct law firm Hamilton Burns, in which she was previously a solicitor and partner before entering politics.
