Slater & Gordon was the Recognised Legal Representative for a number of former undercover officers and managers in the Undercover Policing Inquiry.
It was originally referred to as Russell, Jones & Walker until that firm was taken over by the Australian firm Slater & Gordon.
Individuals represented by them are sometimes referred to as the S&G Officers as distinct from those represented by the Designated Lawyers via the Metropolitan Police.
The solicitor who represented them there is Scott Ingram, who has since moved to the firm of DAC Beachcroft LLP, taking his clients with him. In the past their main counsel has been Richard Whittam KC (chambers: Matrix) and Ben Brandon (chambers then: 3 Raymond Buildings).
The officers who were represented by Slater & Gordon included:
- HN10 Bob Lambert ‘Bob Robinson’
- HN104 Carlo Soracchi ‘Carlo Neri’
- HN14 Jim Boyling ‘Jim Sutton’
- HN15 Mark Jenner ‘Mark Cassidy’
- HN16 James Thomson ‘James Straven’ ‘Kevin Crossland’
- HN18 ‘Rob Harrison’
- HN2 Andy Coles ‘Andy Davey’
- HN26 ‘Christine Green’
- HN519/EN1 ‘Marco Jacobs’
- HN58 (a manager)
- HN78 Trevor Morris ‘Anthony “Bobby” Lewis’
- HN81 ‘Dave Hagan’*
- HN123* (cover name restricted)
Those marked * seem to have since changed representation to the Designated Lawyers.
