Much more than law
We are unlike any private practice. We’re the Government Legal Department (GLD), and our work touches almost every facet of UK public life. We provide legal advice to every government department on nation-changing and era-defining subjects – things like cybercrime, national security, the environment and AI.
As the government’s principal legal advisors, it’s our expertise that supports the government as it develops, designs and implements policies and decisions. We advise on the big topics of the day – matters that are frequently scrutinised in Parliament and the media. And we also represent the government in court.
Join our team and you could get involved in the biggest topics of the day. We regulate, litigate, draft legislation and advise on procuring, so you can expect your career with us to be both unique and diverse. Whatever level you join us at, you can look forward to high-profile work, outstanding career development and the sense of satisfaction that comes with playing a meaningful part in the life of a nation.
