East Coast Youth to Attorney-at-Law: Elton Bollers Joins the Bar

Elton Bollers grew up on the East Coast of Demerara, first in Plaisance and later in Paradise. On September 7, 2026, he took the oath as an Attorney-at-Law before the High Court. He told the Court that those communities “shaped much of who I am.”

The son of Lloyd Bollers and Enid Smith, he brings to the legal profession a résumé few new attorneys can match. He is a farmer, a former national athlete, and an economist who spent years in international development at the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank. He has also been a university lecturer and has published peer-reviewed research.

His petition was moved by Attorney-at-Law Ronald Daniels and Ms. Shaunella Glen, and granted by Justice Nigel Niles.
