Social media is increasingly becoming a force to be reckoned with, this is our way to engage not only with our members but with the Nation, Region and World at large.

Lawyers enable people to uphold their legal rights.

They 'speak truth to power', whether to Government or mighty corporations. Their role is to speak fearlessly on behalf of their clients, some of whom may be among the poorest and most vulnerable in society.

Lawyers must discharge their duties irrespective of their views of the client or the client's case, no matter how unpopular they may be.

They must act without regard to commercial or group interests.

They have a duty to the court to ensure that justice is served by full disclosure and presentation of all relevant authorities, which is a duty which overrides their duty to their clients.

The SVG Bar Association is a body that speaks on behalf of all lawyers duly entitled (practicing or not) to practice law in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

It is a membership organisation which promotes the Bar's high quality specialist advocacy and advisory services; fair access to justice for all; the highest standards of ethics, equality and diversity across the profession; and the development of business opportunities for barristers at home and abroad.

All of our work will be firmly underpinned by the values we embrace: fairness, respect, integrity, excellence and value for money.
