Australian Government Solicitor

Australian Government Solicitor, previously known as Commonwealth Deputy Crown Solicitor, is a law firm that provides legal services to the Government of Australia, and occasionally to governments of the states and territories of Australia. It was originally established as an office within the Government, headed by an individual Commonwealth Crown Solicitor, but was turned into a government business enterprise in 1999.
Some commonwealth legal work, in particular constitutional law, is 'tied' work, so that the Australian Government Solicitor is the only firm able to perform this work on behalf of the Commonwealth.
Some individuals who have previously served as Commonwealth Crown Solicitor include Charles Powers and Fred Whitlam.
