Practice Areas

Ellie has extensive experience advocating on behalf of people whose human rights have been breached, or who have been otherwise failed, by the State and, in particular, the criminal justice system.

She acts for individuals who have been subjected by police to an unlawful ‘stop and search’ and for people whose homes have been unlawfully entered and searched by the police.

She has settled claims for significant financial compensation on behalf of people who have been wrongfully detained and wrongfully prosecuted by the police, assaulted by police or prison officers, and for prisoners who have been seriously assaulted by other prisoners.

Ellie also advocates for victims of serious crime in relation to investigative failures by police forces and the CPS, including serious sexual offences and stalking. Ellie has also successfully prevented the unlawful disclosure of DBS information that would have otherwise severely impacted her clients’ livelihoods.

She also worked alongside Daniel Machover, Toby Wilton and Helen Stone on behalf of a group of the bereaved, survivors and former residents of Grenfell Tower in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry and associated civil litigation.

Ellie is dedicated in her work on behalf of families bereaved by deaths in state custody or following state contact. She is acting in relation to a number of deaths arising from police shootings, in mental health detention and of vulnerable individuals in prison.

Ellie is particularly passionate about seeking accountability on behalf of individuals who have been subject to discrimination by the State.
