GREAT Legal Services

GREAT Legal Services promotes and supports the strength of English and Welsh Law, the UK’s world-renowned independent judiciary, and UK legal expertise to the global market.

For the UK’s legal services, the campaign facilitates growth for the sector in new and fast-growing markets, enabling them to expand business networks and generate export wins for UK law firms and chambers.

Led by the Ministry of Justice, GREAT Legal Services is part of the UK Government’s GREAT campaign. GREAT uses the strength of a globally recognised, credible and respected brand to communicate the UK is a safe and trusted place to conduct business.

With a presence in more than 30 countries worldwide, GREAT Legal Services brings legal professionals together to partner and collaborate from global jurisdictions.

The importance of high-quality legal services

The UK’s legal sector supports trade and commerce around the world. It is at the epicentre of the UK’s economic prosperity and a magnet for international businesses that are drawn to a respected jurisdiction that is underpinned by exceptional legal expertise.

Legal services are essential to the UK’s future as a global, outward-looking, free-trading nation. In an ever-changing environment, they are leading the way in transforming how international businesses operate.

You can read more about the UK legal sector in our promotional leaflet.

Upcoming activity

In October 2026, the GREAT Legal Services will deliver a programme of events alongside the International Bar Association (IBA) Annual Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
