Who are we?

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

GLS departments employ around 2000 lawyers and trainees to provide legal services across the entire spectrum of their 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.

To learn more about us, listen to what our colleagues have to say.
