John Calvert Griffiths CMG KC SC was the Attorney General of Hong Kong[1] from 1979 to 1983.
Griffiths first came to Hong Kong in 1976 to prosecute the Ma brothers for importing heroin in a triad case which garnered the involvement of the CIA.
After stepping down as Attorney General, Griffiths entered private practice as a barrister in Hong Kong and England, handling both civil and criminal matters.
He retired from full-time practice in 2012, but still remains a door tenant at Des Voeux Chambers.
[7] He also represented Lucille Fung, wife of retired judge Miles Henry Jackson-Lipkin, but withdrew when her state of mind made discussions with her difficult.
