As the climate of local government service provision has changed radically in the 1980s, so has the role and function of local government lawyers. They are increasingly required to be more than service providers within a public service ethos. Other roles have burgeoned, particularly those relating to corporate advice, at a time of significant corporate change. I argue that competing policy pressures have placed local government lawyers in the invidious position of holding the middle ground, with a view to what local government members and officers would like to achieve and to what can be achieved within the often shifting parameters of the law
