Alan J. Roth
Principal, District of Columbia

Alan Roth brings nearly 12 years of senior congressional staff experience to his work in legislative and regulatory advocacy. Before entering the private sector, he served as Staff Director and Chief Counsel to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, U.S. House of Representatives, from 1992 to 1994, and to the Committee's Minority from 1995 to 1997. Mr. Roth was regularly listed by Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, as among the 50 most influential staff members in Congress. Prior to assuming those management roles, he was Counsel to the Committee from 1985 to 1992.

Mr. Roth was the highest-ranking advisor to Rep. John D. Dingell (D-MI), who chaired the Energy and Commerce Committee from 1981 to 1995 and reassumed the chairmanship in January 2007. Roth was also Rep. Dingell's principal staff liaison with the Executive Branch, Democratic and Republican Leaderships, and the other committees of the House and Senate. In his current work, he maintains strong professional relationships with Members and staff, Republican and Democrat, on the House Appropriations, Budget, Energy and Commerce, Judiciary, Science, Transportation, and Ways and Means committees (and their Senate counterparts), as well as with key Administration policymakers and White House staff.

Mr. Roth merged his solo lobbying practice with the former Lent & Scrivner firm in March 2000 to form the new firm of Lent Scrivner & Roth LLC. Prior to opening his own office, Mr. Roth was a partner in Bryan Cave LLP, one of the nation's largest law firms. Before moving to Washington in 1984, he was a practicing litigator in Connecticut. After graduating in 1979 from New York University Law School, where he was managing editor of the law review and a John Norton Pomeroy scholar, he clerked for U.S. District Judge M. Joseph Blumenfeld, District of Connecticut. He earned his B.A., magna cum laude, from American University in Washington, where he has also taught courses in government regulation and deregulation.
