Who are we?

The Government Legal Service (GLS) is different. You might even say we are extraordinary.

We have only one client: but that client is the British Government. We employ around 1900 lawyers and trainees to provide legal services every day across the entire spectrum of its activities – from the armed forces to zoology, through charities, commerce and industry, constitutional issues, education, farming, finance, health (and safety), human rights, transport, social security, tax and much more.
