GLS Departments

The GLS includes almost all the major Departments of State, Regulatory bodies and other Governmental organisations. The size of the legal teams varies from Department to Department, as you can see in the table below.

The attached table provides an overview of the GLS – giving a breakdown of the departments which have made up the GLS over this period and the number of lawyers in each Department.

It is important to note that the structure of the GLS has undergone a considerable amount of change over the last 10 years - with some departments merging, new departments joining and others giving up their membership of the GLS.

Please note that these statistics have been compiled by the GLS Secretariat using the information provided by the respective departments.
