About Mark A.
Mark A. Doré has built a career that bridges energy, land services and private practice. He began in the field side of real estate and brokerage, moved into land management, and later into litigation and transactional work at law firms. The path has been steady and practical.
He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and later completed a Juris Doctor at Southern University Law Center in 2009. Those credentials underpin a practice that draws on both technical land knowledge and legal training. The combination of field experience and law school shaped how he approaches client work.
Doré’s early professional years were in brokerage. In 2004 he worked as an associate broker at Drue C. Fournet, CPL & Associates, where he handled property transactions and client relations. He then moved to land services, becoming manager of Mark A. Doré Land Services, LLC in 2008. That role put him on the operational side of land acquisition and lease matters and gave him direct exposure to the commercial and regulatory issues that affect land use.
By 2010 he was practicing law at Dupuis & Polozola, LLC. His time there added formal legal work to his background, and it introduced courtroom and contract experience that complemented his land service years. In 2018 he joined Kean Miller LLP as senior counsel, taking on more complex matters and integrating his prior industry experience into firm practice.
He holds memberships in local and state organizations tied to both the bar and land industries. He is active in the Lafayette Parish Bar Association and the Louisiana State Bar Association. He also belongs to the Lafayette Association of Professional Landmen, reflecting continued ties to the land and energy community. Those memberships provide professional contacts and keep him connected to changes in law and industry practice in Louisiana.
Licensed to practice in Louisiana, Doré blends transactional drafting, lease negotiation and land rights work with litigation when disputes arise. His career shows a steady movement from brokerage to land services to law practice, rather than abrupt shifts. That trajectory informs the way he evaluates client problems: practical, detail oriented, and informed by on-the-ground experience.
He is based at Kean Miller LLP and continues to handle matters that touch on land, oil and gas, and real estate law. His current practice centers on land and energy-related legal work at Kean Miller LLP.
