It is with profound sadness that I received the news of the passing of the doyen of the Cayman Islands legal profession, Mr. Ramon Alberga, King’s Counsel, Order of the British Empire.
Ramon Alberga was a deeply revered senior member of the Cayman Bar, which he joined many decades ago from his native Jamaica where he also distinguished himself at that Bar.
As an advocate he was fierce but fair, passionate and scholarly. He has appeared in numerous landmark cases in Cayman and helped to establish the Cayman Islands as a jurisdiction of legal excellence.
His presence will be missed but his legacy will endure in our hearts.
I offer my condolences to his family as they try to come to terms with the void created by his passing.
May his soul rest in peace.
