Crime.

Gregory Gordon is a Crime and Regulatory & Discipline barrister, specialising in serious and complex crime, hunting and Animal Welfare.

Gregory is a highly respected and experienced criminal barrister, dealing with cases of the utmost seriousness. As much for his persuasive courtroom advocacy, he is known for his forensic attention to detail and excellent client care.

Gregory has a strong Crown Court practice, both defending serious cases and prosecuting as a CPS Grade 3 panel Advocate. In the Court of Appeal he has "distinguished himself by tenacious submissions" (Laws LJ, 2015). He joined the Crime Team as a Tenant following a successful pupillage with chambers under the supervision of His Honour Judge Rupert Lowe. Gregory has been instructed on a wide range of complex cases, including firearms offences, section 18 GBH, armed robberies and burglaries, sexual assault, high value fraud, drug supply and money laundering, witness intimidation, assault on vulnerable persons in care homes, and domestic assault on spouses and children. He is often involved in cases outside of the mainstream, including cases which question an individual's freedom of expression, and right to protest. He was led in the most significant prosecution of care home directors and employees of its kind. Gregory holds a Law with American Law degree from the University of Nottingham, having gained scholarships to study criminal law at the University of Texas at Austin. After completing the BVC at Nottingham Law School with a scholarship from Lincoln's Inn, he qualified as a Police Station Representative and worked for two years at a leading firm.
