Notable cases

Stephen Lawrence

{{main|Murder of Stephen Lawrence}}

In 2012, Ellison successfully led and secured the first convictions of any of Stephen Lawrence's murderers, through the convictions for murder of Gary Dobson and David Norris. Despite inquiries by both Scotland Yard and the Independent Police Complaints Commission ruling that there was no new evidence to warrant further investigation, after discussions with Dame Doreen Lawrence, Home Secretary Theresa May commissioned Ellison to review Scotland Yard's investigations into alleged police corruption.[2]

[https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/stephen-lawrence-independent-review The report], was presented to Parliament by May on 6 March 2014. Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police said the report, which has prompted an inquiry into undercover policing, was "devastating".[3] Ellison's report also showed that there was substantial evidence linking an alleged corrupt police officer with involvement in the murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.[4]

Notable appointments

Ellison was appointed Queen's Counsel in 2008.[5][1] Ellison is a past chairman of Bar Council's remuneration and terms of work committee, and a Bar Council member of the Criminal Justice Council.[5][1]
