Sean P. Avocato
Partner
About
Sean Avocato joined Taylor Porter as a Partner in 2023. His practice is focused on litigation, defending insurers and their insureds in a wide range of property and casualty disputes. Sean represents several national insurers in all aspects of litigation from suit through final judgment and also serves in a pre-suit consulting, evaluation, and claims enforcement role. Sean’s areas of practice include insurance coverage disputes on personal and commercial lines of liability and uninsured motorist coverage, and extra-contractual/“bad faith” claims.
Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Sean is a proud graduate of Catholic High School and Louisiana State University, where he obtained a B.S. from the E.J. Ourso College of Business in 2011. Sean then went to Mississippi College School of Law, where he earned his J.D. with a Certificate of Civil Law Studies in 2014.
After graduating from law school, Sean had the privilege of serving as a two-term law clerk for the Honorable William A. Morvant in the 19th Judicial District Court in East Baton Rouge Parish. During this time, he developed a great appreciation for and understanding of the practical application of Louisiana’s civil procedure rules that he now uses every day to strengthen his clients’ positions.
Upon conclusion of his clerkship in 2016, Sean entered private practice as an Associate with a local law firm focused on insurance defense. He became Partner immediately upon eligibility.
Sean enjoys spending time with his wife, Kristen, and their son, Samuel. They are parishioners of St. George Catholic Church in Baton Rouge. When not at work or chasing after his toddler, Sean is likely found following the LSU Tigers or on the golf course.
