With immense sadness, we announce the death of former Managing Member Francis “Fran” Meaney. Fran passed away peacefully in the presence of his beloved family.

Fran joined Mintz as an Associate in 1960, after receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame, enlistment and a tour of duty with the US Navy, and receiving his law degree from Harvard. He was made a Member of the Firm in 1964 and served as Managing Member from 1984 to 1990.

During his 52-year career at Mintz, from 1960-2012, Fran was instrumental in establishing both ML Strategies and the Project Analysts program.

We are deeply grateful for Fran’s innumerable contributions to the firm and will remember him as an esteemed lawyer, trusted colleague, and beloved friend.
