The Attorney General of Seychelles is the head of the Department of Legal Affairs and is responsible for criminal prosecution, civil litigation and notarial work. The chambers advises the government on all legal matters that pertain to international law and relations—in particular, any matters that pertain to international contracting. Additionally, the chambers provides legal advice and services to any government organisations, drafts legislation, and conducts law reform if needed.[1][2][3][4]

While Seychelles also has a Minister of Legal Affairs, the ministerial post is held by the President of Seychelles.[5]
