As a member of the LSSA, the association can co-operate with the Legal Practice Council and its Provincial Councils established in terms of the Legal Practice Act and any other associations of Attorneys in South Africa or other organisations with similar objectives.

The association will promote the common interests of members having regard always to the broader interest of the public whom the member serves, and to endeavour to reconcile, where they may conflict, the interest of members (as legal practitioners) and the public.
