About Katherine W.
Katherine W. King is a partner at Kean Miller LLP whose career bridges law, energy and community service. She trained at Louisiana State University and moved into practice in the state where she continues to be active in both professional and civic circles.
King earned a Bachelor of Science from Louisiana State University in 1976. She stayed at LSU for law school and received her J.D. from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 1981. Those academic years set a foundation in Louisiana law and introduced her to the regulatory and commercial issues that would shape her later work.
Her professional life has centered on legal matters that touch energy and infrastructure. She is a Certified Cogeneration Professional through the Association of Energy Engineers, a credential that signals knowledge of the technical and regulatory dimensions of cogeneration projects. That certification sits alongside longstanding memberships in the Association of Energy Engineers, the American Bar Association, the Baton Rouge Bar Association and the Louisiana State Bar.
As a partner at Kean Miller LLP, King works with clients on matters that intersect law and energy systems. She has handled issues involving cogeneration and related energy projects, and she brings an understanding of both the legal framework and the practical considerations those projects require. Her practice involves transactional and regulatory aspects of energy work, reflecting the overlap between technical project demands and legal compliance.
Outside the office, King has taken leadership roles in local nonprofit and environmental organizations. She serves as president of the board of directors for Baton Rouge Green. She is on the board of Audubon Girl Scouts and is vice president of the board for Children’s Hope. Those positions indicate sustained engagement with environmental stewardship and youth services in the Baton Rouge area.
Colleagues describe her as someone who balances detailed legal work with public service. Her memberships in professional organizations keep her connected to developments in energy technology and law. She combines that connection with on-the-ground nonprofit leadership.
She is admitted to practice in Louisiana and continues to base her work there. She currently practices at Kean Miller LLP, handling energy projects, cogeneration matters and related regulatory and transactional legal work.
