Hope all goes well @emmaleechristie you will always be a valued member of the @GovernmentLegal alumni. And we will keep in touch at @lincolnsinn. I know you will be a great ambassador for GLD.
This week was my last week as a barrister at the Government Legal Department - a very strange feeling. I had an excellent two years of training at the GLD, but I am looking forward to the challenge of starting self employment at the 36 Group (Public Law and Human Rights team)
Such a privilege to welcome our new Attorney General, Richard Hermer KC on behalf of everyone @GovernmentLegal and the wider Government Legal Profession. Many congratulations! Together we will help the government govern well within the rule of law. @attorneygeneral
