New GLD director of litigation
Mel Nebhrajani has been appointed as director of litigation at the Government Legal Department (GLD).
Formerly legal director at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), in this role Mel advised ministers on NHS, social care and mental health reform, as well as advising the government as it navigates the complex legal issues generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mel takes over the position from her predecessor Stephen Amos, who sadly passed away in June.
She said: ‘Stephen was an exceptionally well-respected and much-loved colleague—he exemplified all that is best about GLD, not least in his respect and support for our colleagues. It is a privilege to build on his important work.
‘I am proud to be leading a team of impressive professionals delivering fascinating and diverse work for the government and to help GLD be profession-leading in all that we do.’
