About Carrie R.
Carrie R. Tournillon earned a J.D. from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law in 2005 after completing a B.A. in 1998 at the University of Alabama School of Law. Her academic path combined regional law study with earlier collegiate work in Alabama. The chronology set the stage for a career that has moved between private practice and regulatory settings in the Gulf Coast legal community.
She began practicing as a lawyer in the late 2000s. Records show she worked at Herrera & Boyle PLLC in 2009. A few years later she took a position at Kean Miller LLP, where she is listed as a lawyer beginning in 2012. Those early roles exposed her to litigation and administrative matters typical of energy and utility law practices in Louisiana and Texas.
Tournillon is admitted to practice in both Louisiana and Texas. She maintains memberships in several bar and professional organizations, including the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Texas Bar Association and the New Orleans Bar Association. She is also involved in national groups: she belongs to the American Bar Association’s Public Utilities and Administrative Law Sections. Outside the bar, she holds membership in the Women’s Energy Network.
Her work has involved regulatory proceedings, administrative hearings and issues tied to the energy sector. She regularly handles filings before state regulatory bodies and appears in administrative forums that govern utility rates, service obligations and compliance. The record of practice indicates she deals with both transactional and contested matters that require interaction with state agencies and opposing parties.
Colleagues and opposing counsel describe her approach as methodical and oriented toward resolving technical regulatory issues. She draws on courtroom experience and administrative practice to build positions in contested dockets and negotiated settlements. Her professional trajectory reflects steady engagement in matters that shape utility regulation and energy project development across state lines.
Tournillon currently practices at Kean Miller LLP. She is active in the local bar and national professional groups and her practice concentrates on energy, utilities, and administrative law matters.
