About Zoë W.
Zoë W. Vermeulen built a path to law that began in Baton Rouge and led to New Orleans courtrooms. She earned a B.A. in Public Relations from Louisiana State University in 2008. Four years later she received her J.D. from Tulane University School of Law. Those years of study set the stage for courtroom practice and membership in several bar organizations.
Her professional listing shows her as a partner at Kean Miller LLP, noted in 2012. That entry anchors her at a firm that handles a range of matters across Louisiana. Over time her work has taken her into both state and federal venues. The record ties her name to matters filed in district courts around the state and on appeal in the Fifth Circuit.
Vermeulen is admitted to practice in Louisiana and in multiple federal courts. Her admissions include the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. That mix of state and federal credentials shapes the cases she handles and the paperwork she files.
She maintains memberships in several professional and industry organizations. Those affiliations include the New Orleans Bar Association, the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association and the American Bar Association. She also belongs to groups that connect law to commerce and to maritime and energy industries, including the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association, the Mariners Club, the Association for Women Lawyers and the Women’s Energy Network. These memberships place her in professional circles that intersect law, industry and regional practice.
Colleagues and clients often encounter her in court dockets and at bar events. Her practice routinely involves preparing filings, arguing motions and advising clients on procedural issues in both trial and appellate settings. She handles matters that arise in Louisiana courts and in federal forums, and she appears in forums where state and federal law overlap. She currently practices at Kean Miller LLP, representing clients in Louisiana state and federal courts.
