Slater and Gordon Lawyers UK

What Slater and Gordon Lawyers UK does

Slater and Gordon Lawyers UK is a national consumer law firm operating as Slater and Gordon UK Limited, headquartered in Manchester with twelve offices spanning England, Scotland, and Wales. The firm provides legal services across eight core practice areas: personal injury claims, medical negligence, employment law, family and divorce, wills, trusts and probate, collective actions, court of protection, and education law. It serves individual consumers and families rather than corporate clients, with dedicated offerings for Police Federation members and consumer group litigation participants.

The firm generates revenue through four mechanisms: traditional time-based and case-based legal fees, No Win No Fee conditional fee arrangements concentrated in personal injury and medical negligence, fixed-fee services (notably £450 plus VAT for divorce and £150 for initial consultations), and contingency-based collective actions covering mis-sold car finance and NOx emissions claims against Mercedes and Volkswagen. Distribution is multi-channel: 12 physical offices, phone-based inside sales, a website with inquiry forms, a client hub for existing matters, and partnerships with Police Federation, Accord, NGSU, and Resolution.

Slater and Gordon is a privately held firm authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (number 591058) as an Alternative Business Structure and by the Financial Conduct Authority (number 579176) for insurance administration. The firm holds Lexcel accreditation from the Law Society, 75 rankings in Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 in 2025, and FT UK Employers 2025 recognition. The firm has secured litigation funding from Harbour Litigation Funding ($42.1M in 2023) and Anchorage Capital Group ($39.9M in 2025) to underwrite its case portfolios.
