The Ministry of Government Services (MGS) plays a very important role in the delivery of government services to the people of Ontario and is responsible for the government’s workforce, procurement and technology resources. 

The Ministry’s Legal Services Branch is comprised of practice groups that provide legal advice to MGS program areas and other client groups throughout government. The work of the Branch is varied and includes: 

• Representing the Crown as the employer by providing labour relations and employment law services and advice to ministries and Crown agencies 
• Providing legal and strategic advice in commercial matters, with an emphasis on public sector procurement  
• Providing access and privacy law advice across government
• Providing advice to ServiceOntario, primarily in the area of regulatory law, administrative law, corporate law, real estate law and vital statistics registration.

With almost 50 litigators and solicitors practicing in a wide range of areas, we offer a diverse, distinct and dynamic experience for students.
