What we do

We are a non-ministerial government department providing legal services to the majority of central government departments, often representing government departments and other publicly funded bodies in England and Wales. Within government, we contribute to legislation and advise on employment law, for example, in the civil service. We enable the government to operate effectively within the rule of law.

TSol is a non-ministerial department, supported by 1 public body.

We work on these topics

  1. Law and the justice system

    The legal system must uphold fairness in society: both in business and for individuals. We want to ensure justice for victims of crime and better rehabilitation for criminals, with a reduction in the rate of reoffending. The justice system must punish the guilty, protect our liberties and rehabilitate offenders. We will ensure that more criminals make amends to victims and communities for the harm they have caused and help them break the destructive cycle of crime. Read more
