The Texas appellate firm Alexander Dubose & Jefferson LLP is pleased to announce the addition of Kayla Oliver to the firm’s Austin office.
A former law clerk for Judges Diana Saldaña of the Southern District of Texas and Patrick Higginbotham of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, Ms. Oliver previously worked in the trial group of a multinational law firm.

Her addition will benefit our firm, as well as our clients.”
Ms. Oliver earned her law degree from Yale Law School, where she served on the Yale Law Journal and was a teaching assistant to U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill. She earned her undergraduate degree, with highest honors, from the University of Texas at Austin.
