With a flair for drama even as a child, Raven Rolle grew up hearing adults predict she would either grace the stage as an actress or present her case in a crowded courtroom. She took that innate natural attention-grabbing talent and dedicated it to the latter. Inspired by advocating on behalf of those not in a position to do so for themselves, she is guided by the principles that ‘a threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere and that injustice prevails if we sit back and do nothing’.

Ms. Rolle began her pupillage at Callenders under the guidance of Llewellyn Boyer-Cartwright, Cheryl Cartwright and Martin Lundy. She is so fascinated by law and admits it’s a tug-of-war as to which arena she will consider her top priority but her enthusiasm, concentration and desire to dig deep into the complexity of cases has won admiration from senior partners. “I’m driven by the complexity of it all,” she says. “When I’m met with a difficult case that fuels my passion. My objective then becomes getting to the bottom of the matter and solving the legal issue.”

She does have her eye set on positively impacting human rights legislation and is ready to help shift the dynamic of how laws are enforced but with a form of decency and respect that every human deserves.
