The competition to refresh the Attorney General’s Regional A, B and C Panel of civil counsel is now open, Details on how to apply are available on GOV UK

The Attorney General’s civil panels provide a valuable source of talented advocates who advise and represent the government in many different types of civil litigation. Panel members are the Government’s public face when the Government goes to court. These advocates must embody the highest standards of public service. Appointment is based on merit.

They also offer a mentoring scheme to potential candidates. This scheme involves pairing a potential candidate with a current serving Panel member. Mentoring is intended to demystify the application process for those who may come from Chambers that have not historically had members on the panel. Please email PanelCounsel@governmentlegal.gov.uk if you would like to have a mentor for the process.
