Rising Lawyer Numbers Raise Questions of Saturation

The Mauritius Bar Association has seen a significant increase in the number of lawyers, reaching a total of 1,072, with 40 new lawyers being sworn in recently.

This surge raises questions about potential saturation in the legal profession.

Senior Counsel Sanjay Bhuckory acknowledges the substantial growth, emphasizing that the role of a lawyer now extends beyond litigation, offering more diverse career opportunities.

While competition is intensifying for young lawyers, they also face challenges stemming from the post-Covid situation and rising inflation.

Experts suggest that specialization and exploring different avenues could be crucial for success in the field.
