"I bring thorough preparation and clear, strategic thinking to every offshore energy and marine dispute, working closely with my team to deliver strong results for our clients."

Will Wood concentrates his practice on offshore energy and marine litigation, bringing a strong foundation in federal court practice and trial advocacy to the representation of clients in complex maritime disputes.

Before joining Kean Miller, Will served as a Judicial Clerk to the Honorable Susie Morgan of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, where he gained valuable insight into federal litigation procedure and judicial decision-making. He also served as a Special Assistant District Attorney with the East Baton Rouge District Attorney’s Office through LSU Law Center’s Prosecution Clinic, where he was sworn in as a student attorney and tried a felony bench trial.
