Kean Miller Launches Wildlife & Fisheries Practice

Kean Miller, one of the largest law firms in the Gulf South region, is pleased to announce the creation of a fully realized wildlife and fisheries practice, led by Tim Strickland and Bret Sparks. Kean Miller attorneys have been actively advising local, regional, and global businesses operating within these highly regulated and rapidly evolving sectors for decades, and with this newly formed practice, the firm enhances the scope and reach of its wildlife and fisheries services throughout the southern states and beyond.

Our team brings together decades of experience, deep legal expertise, practical industry knowledge, and a passion for protecting and advancing the interests of our clients. Kean Miller is uniquely positioned to support a diverse range of industries that are impacted by wildlife and fisheries regulations. We have represented companies involved in the traditional and exotic skins trade, commercial and recreational fishing, and aquaculture, as well as zoos, aquaria, research institutions, and a host of agriculture and ranching operations. Additionally, our relationships with the key federal, regional, and state agencies that oversee wildlife and fisheries regulation allow us to advocate effectively on behalf of our clients.

“The creation of a formal wildlife and fisheries practice group was a natural development for the firm due to our team’s extensive history and experience,” said Tim Strickland. “By combining our resources and industry knowledge, our team can better serve clients and stay abreast of legal and regulatory developments. As passionate wildlife enthusiasts, we are eager to further engage with members of these industries to help achieve their goals.”
