The Law Officers’ Department is the cornerstone of legal advice in Jersey, proudly serving the Government of Jersey, the States of Jersey Assembly, and the Crown. Established centuries ago, the department is led by His Majesty's Attorney General and His Majesty's Solicitor General, supported by a dedicated team of over 80 staff. The organisation is headquartered in Morier House, St Helier, Jersey, a stone's throw from the Island’s Royal Court and States Assembly buildings.

This esteemed department is renowned for its excellence in employee engagement, as identified in its Lexcel accreditation, a testament to its commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. It operates on an 'open-door' principle, encouraging feedback and ideas from staff at all levels. This culture of openness has led to a workplace where employees feel appreciated and valued, as noted in an independent external report.

The Law Officers’ Department champions diversity and inclusion, engaging in initiatives such as the Inspiring Women Into Leadership and Learning programme, the Diversity and Inclusion programme, and the Neurodiversity Network. The department also invests in the professional development of its staff, sponsoring two employees annually to complete the Jersey Law Course at the Institute of Law.

Adapting to modern ways of working, the department has embraced hybrid working, receiving positive feedback from staff who appreciate the flexibility it provides. Its commitment to employee wellbeing and engagement makes it not just a vital legal entity, but also a "really nice place to work".

Quote from the top

“A common theme in our employee engagement surveys and our annual Lexcel assessment is the feedback from employees that the Department is a genuinely happy place in which to work. The independent Lexcel assessor wrote in her recent report: 'Interviewees consistently described an environment free from micromanagement, where autonomy is encouraged and trust is placed in individuals to manage their work effectively. This approach appears to enhance productivity and morale, with staff reporting high levels of job satisfaction'. The assessor heard testimonials such as 'the best place they have ever worked', with some interviewees stating they could not imagine working elsewhere'. I am extremely grateful to all the members of the Department, in every one of our teams, for creating this supportive team culture and maintaining the high levels of service expected of the Law Officers’ Department.”

Matthew Jowitt KC, His Majesty’s Attorney General
