The Crown Solicitor is the solicitor to the State of New South Wales. The Crown Solicitor's Office (CSO) provides advice, representation and other legal services to the NSW Government and its agencies in all areas of law. It operates commercially and competes with private law firms for general legal work.

Our staff enjoy challenging and interesting work, high levels of responsibility, excellent employment conditions, flexible work hours, health and wellbeing services and work/life balance.

Prospects for advancement at the CSO are excellent. All solicitors have the opportunity to manage a practice relatively early in their careers, thus gaining valuable experience in legal services.
