Mauritian Barristers

 

The U.S. Embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius, assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the following persons or firms.

 

BARRISTERS (US equivalent of ATTORNEYS) - none of whom are Notary Publics

 

 

Both barristers and solicitors provide legal advice, draft contracts and may represent a client in

disciplinary counsels, general assemblies and negotiations.  Solicitors draft plaints, summons,

affidavits and may present before all courts in Mauritius, except the Intermediary and Supreme

Courts.  Barristers have the right of audience before all courts on the island; they plead and advocate

cases.  Most barristers in Mauritius have solicitors at their service who instruct them and bring clients

to court.  The solicitor may appear without a barrister, if the client has decided not to have one, in

cases that are not presented before the Intermediary and Supreme Courts.  The services of a solicitor

to instruct a barrister are not compulsory because this is done by the Public Prosecution Office.
