About Brooke M.
Brooke M. Hathaway earned her Bachelor of Arts from Louisiana State University in 2017 and completed her Juris Doctor at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law in 2022. Her time in school combined classroom work and practical training common to modern legal education. Graduating law school in 2022 positioned her to enter practice at a time when courts and clients were adapting to new technology and shifting litigation patterns.
She joined Kean Miller LLP as an associate after law school. In that role she has worked on matters that brought her into both state and federal courtrooms. She is admitted to practice in Louisiana and holds admission to the U.S. District Courts for the Western, Eastern and Middle Districts of Louisiana, as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. These admissions allow her to file and respond to claims at trial and on appeal across a broad geographic range in the region.
Hathaway’s work at the firm has included drafting court filings, preparing briefs and participating in client strategy meetings. Her tasks reflect those typically assigned to early-career associates at large regional firms: legal research, motions practice, and assistance with discovery. Colleagues describe her as attentive to procedural detail and methodical in preparing documents for filing, qualities that inform litigation at both the trial and appellate levels.
Outside of case work, she maintains an active membership in the Louisiana State Bar Association, joining in 2022. Participation in the bar connects her to continuing legal education and to professional networks across the state. That membership also signals an ongoing engagement with the rules and standards that govern practice in Louisiana courts.
As an associate at Kean Miller LLP, Hathaway handles matters that arise in both state and federal forums and files briefs in district and appellate courts as her caseload requires. She concentrates her practice on litigation matters that proceed through trial and appellate stages in Louisiana and the Fifth Circuit.
