Gavin Patrick Cyril Glover (born 26 April 1962) is a Mauritian lawyer and politician. He is currently serving as Attorney-General of Mauritius.[1][2]

Gavin Glover is the son of Victor Glover and Ginette Gauthier. His grandfather Harold was a judge and Electoral Commissioner. He attended Notre Dame des Victoires primary school in Rose-Hill, ranking at 399th position at the Standard 6 exit examinations of 1972. He then attended Collège du Saint-Esprit, and was awarded a State Scholarship also known as lauréat de la bourse d’Angleterre on 26 February 1980, which enabled him to study Law at Balliol College, Oxford.

Soon after his return to Mauritius in 1985, Gavin's father assisted him to find employment in Ivan Collendavelloo's legal practice. He founded the firm Glover Chambers later in 1985, and was involved in a number of high profile cases such as the defence of drug trafficker Hassen Jeewooth in 1996, Bacha Castellano house fire, Bernard Maigrot's defence when charged with the murder of his mistress Vanessa Lagesse on 10 March 2001, Thierry Lagesse's defence when he was arrested and charged with tax evasion during the importation of a luxury Mercedes Benz SLS 63 AMG in 2010, Johnson Roussety's defence when he was prosecuted for corruption during a recruitment scandal, and Navin Ramgoolam's defence when he was arrested in February 2015 during Opération Lakaz Lerwa Lion for the Rs 220 millions Navin Coffers’ Saga and Rolex Roches Noires Affair involving conspiracy, murder, and death in custody of Anand Ramdhony.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
