About Alasdair A.
Alasdair A. Roberts earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005 and completed his J.D. at South Texas College of Law in 2010. He arrived at law school after a liberal arts education that emphasized research and writing. The academic record set the tone for a practice shaped by litigation and court work rather than transactional matters.
Roberts began his legal career after law school by seeking admission to a range of courts. He is admitted in Texas and holds admissions to several federal forums, including the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern, Southern, and Western Districts of Texas, and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Those credentials reflect a practice that spans state and federal litigation and appeals.
He serves as Special Counsel at Kean Miller LLP. In that role he handles matters that require courtroom experience and familiarity with federal procedure. Colleagues describe him as steady under pressure and precise in drafting, attributes that matter in contested litigation and appellate briefing. He has worked on cases that proceed through trial courts to higher tribunals, which has shaped how he evaluates risk for clients and prepares records for appeal.
Roberts maintains memberships in several professional organizations. He is a current member of the Houston Bar Association, the Texas Association of Defense Counsel, and the State Bar of Texas. Those affiliations provide regular access to continuing-education programs, local legal networks, and practice-group discussions that inform day-to-day case strategy.
His courtroom admissions and professional memberships support a practice centered on litigation in Texas and federal courts. He has experience in drafting dispositive motions, managing discovery disputes, and preparing appellate briefs. Roberts combines courtroom experience with the procedural knowledge necessary to move cases efficiently through complex dockets.
Outside of appearances and filings, Roberts places emphasis on careful record development and courtroom preparedness. He approaches matters with an eye toward practical outcomes, weighing the burdens of discovery against potential trial benefits. He balances case work with participation in local bar programs and peer forums that keep him current on procedural developments.
He is currently Special Counsel at Kean Miller LLP, where he focuses on civil litigation matters in Texas and the federal courts.
