Anand Ramlogan - Private Practice

Private Practice

Upon qualifying as an attorney at law, he entered private private, first, under the tutelage of Ms Lynette Maharaj, SC. After several years he joined the law firm of Sir Fenton Ramsahoye, former Attorney General of Guyana. He eventually established his own chambers—Freedom House—on Harris Street, San Fernando. At the age of 22 he became one of the youngest barristers from the Commonwealth to address the Law Lords of the Privy Council. He was also a door tenant at Charter Chambers in London.

Several of Ramlogan's cases were the subject of articles in international law journals, due to the landmark decisions they birthed. As a result, occasionally, he is invited to give guest lectures in various universities in London. Two notable cases were:

• the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha (SDMS) against the Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago concerning the Trinity Cross; and
• the SDMS against the Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago over the then government's refusal to grant the SDMS a broadcaster's licence to establish and operate Radio Jaagriti 102.7 FM, a radio station catering to the Hindu niche, even though the SDMS was the major Hindu-based organisation in Trinidad and Tobago.
