An Attorney-at-Law for more than ten years, and still just 40 years old, Kiel Taklalsingh has already made his name and established his mark as a specialist in public law, judicial review, and constitutional claims. He is recognised as one of the lawyers to have on your side when you need the best approach or solution to any major legal problem. In fact, very early in his career, Kiel was presented with a Red Bag by Mr. Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, S.C. who had already recognised Kiel’s ability and competence as a Junior Lawyer with considerable promise.

It is why, even at such a young age for an experienced attorney, Kiel has already appeared in several matters at the Privy Council including, as a Junior Counsel, representing The Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago in the seminal matter of whether persons charged with murder should be given bail (Akili Charles vs The Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago). Kiel has also appeared, and has shown his worth, in several other prominent public law cases which have set the tone for future legal citations such as Mitoonlal Persad vs The Ministry of Labour; Zogli vs The Chief Immigration Officer; and Central Broadcasting Ltd. v The Commissioner of Police.

Kiel sees his role as more than a lawyer. As a citizen he has written, spoken and appeared on television giving his views on legal and political matters. He sees this as part of his commitment to his country, Trinidad and Tobago. When he and his colleagues, decided to have their own Chambers they decided to name it “Sovereign Chambers”, a name based on the Consitution of Trinidad and Tobago which starts by declaring the new nation as a “Sovereign Democratic State.” Almost as interesting is that Sovereign Chambers is located in Gaston Court on Gaston Street in Chaguanas and it reminds many of the great and famous Barrister, Gaston Johnson.

In commenting on what he sees as his next steps in his business and profession, Kiel Taklalsingh is very clear on who he is and what he stands for. He explained, “I have a firm, constant and total belief in protecting, preserving and promoting the Rule of Law in our country, Trinidad and Tobago. It is supposed to be, and must continue to be, a place in which every creed and race must find an equal place. All of us in Sovereign Chambers will do our best to ensure that our Sovereign state, Trinidad and Tobago, continues to be a sweet land of liberty and a nation blessed by the Almighty.”
