ABOUT THIS EMPLOYER
The Government Legal Service (GLS) is the collective term for the 1,950 lawyers working in the legal teams of 30 government departments.
Our client is the government of the day and there are many parallels between our work and that found in private practice. The government employs staff, purchases goods and services, buys and sells land and property and enters into contracts. Our lawyers advise and represent their client on a huge range of issues which are often high profile and politically sensitive.
In addition to interpreting existing laws, GLS lawyers also have the opportunity to make new legislation. GLS lawyers advise ministers and policy officials on what can (and can’t) be done under existing legislation. If new legislation is required, GLS lawyers will help to draft and take it through Parliament in the form of a Bill. This type of work is unique to the GLS.
