TIMOTHY Prudhoe, a 52-year-old Englishman, was on Friday admitted to the local bar which will allow him to practise law in Guyana.

Prudhoe’s petition was presented by Attorney-at-law Mohamed R. Ali before Justice Sandra Kurtious and included a brief biography and some of his accomplishments.
Ali related that Prudhoe, who was born on October 27, 1970, obtained his LLB from Manchester University and his LLM from Queen Mary University of London.

Called to the English Bar in October 1994, he remained a member of chambers at 3 Hare Court, Temple, London.

“In the early years of his practise at the bar, Mr. Prudhoe was based in England and in 1998 he was sent to represent the English Bar and work on the death row appeal in the United States of America, Texas,” Ali related.

He said that in 2018, Prudhoe jointly founded the law firm Stanbrook Prudhoe in the Islands of Turks and Caicos, Northern Caribbean.

“His practice encompasses commercial litigation, contentious insolvency, public and administrative work; he is currently involved in numerous ongoing constitutional challenges at both first instance and appeal level,” Attorney Ali stated.

Additionally, in 2021, Prudhoe graduated from the Eugene Dupruch Law School of the Bahamas with a Legal Education Certificate (LEC), making him eligible for admission to the Guyana Bar.
Prudhoe is married and is the father of two teenagers, who sometimes accompany him on his travels within the Caribbean region, when he is required to make court appearances.
Ali said that the attorney has done exceedingly well academically and professionally and was certain that his family and colleagues are proud of him.

“I can only add and hope that you will continue to make the right decisions and always be filled with gratitude as you pursue your legal career in the Co-operative Republic of Guyana,” he added.

He offered his personal congratulations and wished Prudhoe a successful career in Guyana.

“Timothy, I welcome you to the legal profession in the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, and wish you continued success in your future endeavours,” he said.
