Government Legal Risk Matrix updated 15 Nov 2024

The Attorney General’s Legal Risk Guidance is a core document for lawyers advising on public sector matters because it sets out how to identify, assess, and manage legal risks as part of the decision-making process. The new Labour government has revised this guidance, changing some of the categories and emphasising the importance of the rule of law. The guidance also contains a definition of when advice should state that a proposed course of action is unlawful and expressly states that the government is obliged to honour legal obligations arising under domestic and international law.
