CULTURE: People First. Forty years ago, six partners in a well-respected Baton Rouge law firm announced they were leaving to begin a new firm. A firm where the partners would be friends first and business partners second. A firm that would be inclusive and where client service reigned supreme. A firm that put people first. The founding principles of Kean Miller are alive today, in our relationships with each other, in our representation of our clients, and in the communities where we live and work. As we reflect on the past 40 years, we are amazed by all that we have accomplished. We have grown from twelve attorneys in 1983 to 199 attorneys in 2023. We have expanded from one office in Baton Rouge, to eight offices across Louisiana and Texas, including Shreveport almost a decade ago. And we continue to represent many of our firm’s original clients to this day. Kean Miller continues to set the standard for excellence in client service, having earned numerous awards for our market-leading practices and creative legal representation. Once again, we are honored to be recognized by the National Law Journal’s NLJ 500, the Law 360 Top 400, and the BTI Client Service All-Stars. Furthermore, Kean Miller has achieved Mansfield Rule 5.0 certification, a rare honor bestowed on a select group of law firms that prove a genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.
VITALITY: Kean Miller’s Shreveport office was established in January 2014 with the addition of 5 partners from the Cook Yancey law firm in Shreveport. Price Barker, Scott Zimmer, Michael Lowe, Brian Carnie, and Kyle McInnis joined us as partners. Price Barker, a talented employment lawyer, passed away in 2016, and Kyle transitioned to an in-house legal and business role with Anderson Feazel Management in Shreveport in 2017. Will Huguet joined us in Shreveport in April 2014, bringing his energy, oil & gas, and mineral title practice to the Firm. In January 2020, Mark Miller joined the Shreveport office, adding important business, corporate, estate planning, and transactional capabilities. The Shreveport office continues to grow with the addition of a new associate, Reagan LaPieitra (Loyola Law) in September 2022. In March 2023, Blair Boyd joined us in North Louisiana as an associate.
