Kevin Kleinpeter Biography
 Kevin
P. Kleinpeter joins the Babcock Law Firm after three
years of service to the local business and political
community as Vice President of Governmental Affairs
for the Baton Rouge Area Chamber of Commerce. He is
a Baton Rouge native and a proud member of the
Kleinpeter Dairy family that has lived and farmed in
south Louisiana since the late seventeen hundreds.
Kleinpeter is a graduate
of Catholic High School and earned his B.A. in
Political Science at Louisiana State University. He
received is J.D. from South Texas College of Law in
downtown Houston, Texas in May of 2000.
Upon his return to
Louisiana in 2003, Kleinpeter lobbied on behalf of
the Chamber of Commerce on a wide variety of
business issues at the State Capitol. His experience
ranges from working with a broad coalition of
business leaders to amend River Pilot Fees to
successfully pushing for an innovative video game
tax incentive to lure out of state businesses
seeking economic development opportunities in
Louisiana.
Kleinpeter regularly
attended and testified on numerous business issues
at City Hall during his three years with the Chamber
of Commerce. He has worked with mayors, parish
presidents, city councils, police juries, planning
commissions, public works departments, trade
associations, and various other task forces and
commissions.
Kleinpeter spearheaded
and managed a complex environmental suit, still
pending, against federal agencies during his last
two years with the Chamber of Commerce. This
litigation was the impetus of preventing East Baton
Rouge Parish and several surrounding parishes from
mandated use of Reformulated Gasoline (RFG). At the
time of the suits, studies proved RFG was more
expensive with little or no benefits to the
environment, health or human welfare.
Before joining the
Babcock Team, Kleinpeter was a contract lobbyist
representing innovative and historical commercial
development projects and important land owner’s
rights initiatives. He also joined a broad and
diverse coalition of trade associations, private
businesses and independent contractors that began
debating the future of the telecommunications
industry in the state.
