On February 25, 2012 Kean Miller LLP will celebrate twenty-nine years of excellence in the legal profession and almost three decades of helping to make Louisiana a better place to live and work.

The firm was born on Valentine's Day 1983 when six partners in Sanders, Downing, Kean and Cazedessus, a well-respected and successful Baton Rouge law firm, announced that they were leaving that partnership to begin a new firm.   

In January 2006, we welcomed 12 new lawyers to our New Orleans office from a major New Orleans firm.  The 23 lawyers in our New Orleans office offer clients more than 250 years of combined experience in admiralty law, maritime litigation, construction law, commercial litigation, labor and employment, energy regulatory and energy litigation matters.

From our beginnings in 1983 with 11 lawyers, Kean Miller LLP has grown to become the largest law firm in the Capitol Region with almost 125 lawyers, 300 employees, and offices in three Louisiana cities.
