About Lauren J.
Lauren J. Rucinski earned her law degree from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 2016, receiving both a J.D. and a D.C.L. She completed her undergraduate studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, where she graduated with a B.S. in 2013. Those early years established a foundation in both common-law and civil-law traditions, reflecting the legal environment of Louisiana.
She began building practical experience while still in school. In 2014 she served as a judicial intern for Justice Harvey Brown at the Texas First Court of Appeals. The following summer she worked as a summer associate at Vinson & Elkins in 2015. After law school, she joined Kean Miller LLP as a lawyer in 2016 and has remained with the firm since.
Her professional credentials include admission to practice in Louisiana and to several federal forums. She is admitted to the United States District Courts for the Eastern, Western and Middle Districts of Louisiana and to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She is also a registered patent lawyer with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a credential that enables her to represent clients before the USPTO on patent matters.
Rucinski maintains memberships in local and professional organizations. She is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association and the Baton Rouge Bar Association. She also belongs to the Louisiana Air & Waste Management Association, an organization that brings together professionals involved in environmental and regulatory issues. Those associations provide a network of peers and resources for work that intersects regulatory, intellectual property and litigation matters.
At Kean Miller LLP she handles matters that draw on her USPTO registration and federal admissions. Her background combines appellate exposure, private practice experience, and patent credentials. Colleagues describe her as a practitioner who applies technical and legal training to the procedural and substantive tasks that arise in federal court and patent proceedings. She represents clients in patent-related matters and federal litigation.
Her current practice focuses on patent law and federal court matters.
