Kerry Miller is a partner in the firm’s Litigation Section. His trial practice is as diverse as it is busy. Kerry has tried cases involving environmental contamination, products liability, breach of contract, breach of lease, redhibition, unfair trade practices, Jones Act, civil and criminal RICO and civil and criminal provisions of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and the Oil Pollution Act.

Kerry has tried cases for plaintiffs and defendants, companies and individuals, judge and jury trials, state and federal trials, bellwether and limited issue trials in multi-district litigation (MDL) proceedings and for policyholders in domestic and international arbitrations.

Kerry has the distinction of trying both the longest civil and criminal trials in the history of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Recently, as jury trials have resumed following pandemic related delays, Kerry tried the first civil jury trial in federal court in Louisiana and in Miami-Dade County in state court. Since June of 2021, Kerry has tried several jury trials and participated in a large arbitration matter.

In addition to his trial experience, Kerry has gained unique complex litigation experience as the appointed lead counsel in the BP oil spill MDL, Chinese Drywall MDL and Hurricane Katrina related environmental litigation. In these sprawling cases, Kerry has litigated all types of jurisdictional, discovery and evidentiary issues, which are reflected in more than a hundred reported decisions. While Kerry enjoys a broad civil and criminal defense practice, he has developed expertise in environmental, industrial failure, construction, commercial litigation, and insurance coverage matters.

Kerry is a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers.
