The Cayman Islands Constitutional Commission, established under section 118 of the Cayman Islands Constitution Order 2009, advises the government on constitutional matters and promotes public understanding of the constitution. Its core functions include publishing reports on constitutional issues, fostering informed public discussion, and exercising additional functions as prescribed by law.
Commenting on her appointment, Annalisa said: 'It is a privilege to have been appointed by the Governor to consider and advise on the terms of the constitution, which is central to how Cayman Islands society operates. I look forward to working with and learning from the other members of the Commission during my term.'
Born in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in the Cayman Islands, Annalisa was admitted as an attorney in the Cayman Islands in 2014 and has practised law in both the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. She has a broad practice specialising in commercial litigation, cross-border insolvency, and restructuring.
All commission members volunteer their time and are appointed by the Governor in consultation with the Premier and Leader of the Opposition.
