Our team is led by Graham Johnson, a former investigative journalist with decades of experience uncovering the truth.
Yellow Legal works closely with DARLitS (Document Analysis, Research and Litigation Support), a specialist disclosure company that forensically investigates paperwork and electronic discovery.
After being approached by an MP worried about an explosion of drug and gun crime in his Liverpool constituency, Graham Johnson launched a long-running investigation into kingpins John Haase and Paul Bennett. His evidence was presented to the Metropolitan Police, deployed at crown court and the criminals were jailed for 22 years each.
Graham Johnson has played a key role for over a decade in finding witnesses and documents in the long-running phone hacking litigation against News Group Newspapers and Mirror Group Newspapers. Today, he is part of the Research Team for the Claimants in unlawful information gathering litigation against ANL, the publishers of the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday.
Yellow Legal has helped both claimants and defendants in numerous libel cases, providing crucial research and evidence to support legal arguments.
A high-profile campaigner asked Yellow Legal to prepare a dossier of evidence to present to the police and the press, in a bid to get a large force to reopen a probe into serious organised crime.
