Commercial Arbitration · Mauritius
Gavin Glover is one of the most prominent litigators in Mauritius. His expertise spans various areas of practice, including civil and criminal law, employment and family matters, as well as arbitration and public procurement. He is also sought after by local and international companies for his crisp and concise advice on corporate and commercial issues. In addition, Mr Glover is an accredited arbitrator at the MCCI Arbitration and Mediation Center and he is frequently involved in different modes of alternative dispute resolution.
He regularly appears before all the Courts on the island, for a most varied clientele: from major Mauritian businesses and insurance companies to international conglomerates, from cosmopolitan expatriates to local public servants. Some of his high-profile clients include Dr Navin Ramgoolam, former Prime Minister of Mauritius, Mr Thierry Lagesse, director of Alteo and IBL companies, and Mr Dawood Rawat, ex-chairman of the BAI group. Mr Glover has also advised and represented notable corporate clients such as the French construction consortium of Transinvest and Bouygues locally and the world-famous British newspaper The Times.
As Head of Chambers, Mr Glover leads a versatile team of fifteen barristers who look to him for guidance and example. The Chambers of Gavin Glover SC is a proud member of Mackrell International, giving the set access to a vast network of professional contacts around the globe.
In Mauritius, Mr Glover has shown a commitment to the development of the legal profession. He served key roles in the Mauritius Bar Association, including President in 2003, Secretary in 2002, and Treasurer in 2000. In 2003, he was appointed to the Steering Committee on the Liberalisation of the Legal Profession. He is presently one of the examiners for the advocacy test at the local Bar Exams.
Mr Glover was a State Scholar in 1980 and read Jurisprudence as the Anderson Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford University. He was called to the Bar of England and Wales at the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple in 1985. He joined the Mauritian Bar and started his own practice that same year. He took silk in 2010.
He is preceded at the Bar by his grandfather, Harold Glover, who was Judge of the Supreme Court and his father Sir Victor Glover who was Chief Justice from 1989 to 1995. Kevin, his son, is the fourth generation to be called to the Bar.
His litigation style can be described as well-rounded: his eye for detail is always at the service of the bigger picture, his fearless combativity is balanced by fairness and joviality, his determination to win nuanced by the ability to choose his battles wisely.
