Governments and their agencies face a number of challenging questions in designing the most effective legal services delivery model government-wide and within each agency.  For example, these include:

  • Variations in the delivery model by type of legal service (e.g., advisory, litigation, legislative and regulatory drafting)

  • The extent to which legal services staff should be co-located or integrated with client agencies (e.g., assigning legal services to specific agency clients)

  • Dependence on centres of expertise to deliver legal services government-wide

  • The funding arrangements in place for legal services, for example, whether legal services should be funded by client agencies, funded centrally on a cost-recovery basis, or simply funded centrally.

  • Reporting relationships of organization legal counsel, paralegals and legal assistants

  • The degree of flexibility to move legal counsel between client organizations.

Legal services delivery model options 

    Examples of service delivery model options for legal services government-wide include:

    • Decentralized— Agencies manage, acquire and fund their own legal services. Whole of government legal services are provided centrally. Collaborative government legal networks in place.

    • Centralized distributed cost recovery model with optionality— Agencies have the option of using centralized government-wide legal services on a cost recovery basis or acquiring private external legal services.

    • Centralized mandatory distributed legal services with cost recovery model—Mandatory centralized government-wide legal services are co-located with, and funded by client agencies on a cost recovery basis.

    • Centralized mandatory services are assigned to client agencies—Legal services are provided centrally and are assigned to client agencies.  Services to client agencies are funded on a cost-recovery basis; whole-of-government services are funded centrally.

    • Centralized—Agencies obtain mandatory legal services from centralized service centres or centres of expertise.   Services are funded centrally.
