Graduate Recruitment

Welcome to the Government Legal Service’s graduate recruitment website.

Allow us to introduce ourselves. With approximately 2000 lawyers in over 32 central government departments and agencies, the Government Legal Service (GLS) is one of the largest legal organisations in the country.

Like any legal organisation, we provide our client with legal advice and represent it in court where necessary. When you consider that our client is the government of the day, you won’t be surprised to learn that our lawyers’ work is extremely varied, high profile and often politically sensitive.

Each year, the GLS recruits approximately 25-30 graduates who wish to train and qualify as solicitors and barristers. To find out more about our training contracts and pupillages, the work of our trainees or our recruitment process, please use the links on the left hand side of this page.
