ENGLAND

The law firm of Gifford Thompson & Bright originated in Jamaica in 1991 when Lord Anthony Gifford QC, its senior partner, began his practice as a Jamaican attorney-at-law. Lord Gifford had practiced at the English Bar for over 30 years and had the reputation in England as a fearless radical barrister involved in many leading human rights cases. He was also a member of the Bar of Northern Ireland, where he had been involved in inquiries and trials arising from the conflict in that country. Lord Gifford now practices mainly in Jamaica but maintains his law chambers in London.
