About John C.
John C. Funderburk earned his undergraduate degree at Spring Hill College in 1999 and completed his law degree at Louisiana State University in 2005. He entered the legal profession soon after law school and began building a courtroom and transactional practice that spans multiple state and federal jurisdictions.
His early career took him to King & Spalding in 2005, where he worked as an associate. In 2008 he moved to Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, further expanding his experience at a large national firm. In 2014 he joined Kean Miller LLP as a partner, a role he has held since then. Those moves trace a steady progression through firms known for national and regional practices.
Funderburk is admitted to practice in both Texas and Louisiana. He also holds admission in several federal courts: the Northern and Southern Districts of Texas, the Eastern and Middle Districts of Louisiana, and the Western District of Michigan. That range of admissions reflects work across state and federal matters and allows him to take cases in multiple venues.
Over the course of his career he has handled matters in state and federal courts. He has represented clients in litigation and courtroom proceedings, and he has experience managing the procedural demands that come with multi-jurisdictional matters. He brings practical courtroom knowledge and firm-side experience from both regional and national practices.
Outside of casework he maintains active professional ties. He is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Locally, he belongs to the Houston Young Lawyers Association and the Houston Bar Association. These memberships signal ongoing engagement with bar activities and local legal networks.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in his approach to case preparation and steady in court. He balances detail-oriented preparation with the procedural and strategic instincts honed over two decades in practice. His career path — from associate roles at national firms to partnership at Kean Miller — reflects a mix of trial exposure and firm responsibilities.
He continues to work from Kean Miller LLP, handling matters that require admission in state and federal courts across Texas and Louisiana. He practices at Kean Miller LLP, concentrating on litigation in state and federal courts across Texas and Louisiana.
