MANAGING PARTNER
Trenton "Trent" Roberts is a Managing Partner at Roberts & Willie, PLLC and brings a wealth of "Big-Law" sophistication to the banking and large private equity companies that employ our firm's services.
Specifically, following his graduation from the University of Chicago Law School, Trent returned to his native Texas and began his legal career at Latham & Watkins, LLP, which is one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the country. There, Trent honed his legal expertise in corporate, tax and finance law, while building up a network of entrepreneurs, lenders and banking clients who would prefer to opt out of the enormous rates of big law firms, while retaining the level of sophistication, responsiveness and knowledge such firms possess.
This network allowed Trent to transition to smaller to mid-size law firms before eventually joining Matthew Willie to launch Roberts & Willie, PLLC. To date the firm has advised on hundreds of M&A transactions, negotiated thousands of NDAs, closed hundreds of other transactions and built a network of middle-market, banking, and private equity companies that would rival that of many international law firms. Selected as a "Rising Star" by SuperLawyers 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2025.

His practice focuses on corporate law, with an emphasis on representing large private equity companies in a variety of transactions.
