Treasury Solicitor바카라 사이트檚 Department announces name change
The Treasury Solicitor바카라 사이트檚 Department (TSol) is to change its name on 1 April to the 바카라 사이트 Legal Department
TSol has gone through a period of significant change over the last 2 years as it has brought together most government legal teams into a more unified structure, with the aim of providing a coherent, consistently excellent legal service to government. It now provides most of the government바카라 사이트檚 litigation and employment law services as well as the advisory teams for 11 Whitehall departments, along with a specialist Commercial Law Group and European law division.
As a result of the changes, the department has doubled in size to around 2,000 staff, mostly based in London but also with teams in Bristol, Manchester, Warrington and Leeds.
Treasury Solicitor Jonathan Jones said:
바카라 사이트淐hanging our name to the 바카라 사이트 Legal Department is an important step in the evolution of the department. It signifies our change in size and remit, and describes clearly what we are and what we do as a department.
바카라 사이트淢y vision is of a department which is trusted by government to provide consistently excellent and value for money services, which is known throughout the legal profession for the quality of our legal work, and provides the best possible careers and employment offer for our people. I am confident that the 바카라 사이트 Legal Department will deliver that vision.바카라 사이트�
The Attorney General, Jeremy Wright QC MP, who has Ministerial responsibility for TSol, said:
바카라 사이트淭his is an important milestone, reflecting the impressive work that has taken place in bringing the majority of government legal services into a single organisation. Combining all these different legal teams offers more diverse career opportunities for lawyers and has clear potential to provide both higher quality legal services for government and efficiencies for the taxpayer, in line with this government바카라 사이트檚 broader approach to reforming the civil service.
바카라 사이트淚 warmly welcome the recognition that is given to this change by the adoption of the new name as a true 바카라 사이트 Legal Department.바카라 사이트�
The department will continue to litigate in the name of the Treasury Solicitor, and legal documents will still be served on the Treasury Solicitor at his current offices at One Kemble Street, London.
