Our History
There is a long tradition of legal advisors to the Crown and the State going back as far as the reign of King Ine in the sixth century.

The post of Treasury Solicitor was first officially defined in 1661 with the appointment of John Rushworth, who was known as "the solicitor for negotiating and looking after the affairs of the Treasury".
