History

Keane & Beane, P.C. was founded by Edward F. Beane and Thomas Keane in May 1980, with offices in White Plains and Rye NY. The firm was originally part of Keane & Butler, which was founded in 1969 with offices in New York City, White Plains, and Rye. Its founding members, Tom Keane and Tom Butler, were both Rye residents. In 1980, the Westchester offices headed by Tom Keane and Ed Beane decided to go out on their own.

Since then, the four-attorney practice has grown to be one of the largest law firms in Westchester County, with over 25 attorneys whose average tenure is 18 years, providing unparalleled continuity for our clients. To better serve a growing client base, Keane & Beane opened its Fishkill, NY office in 2008 and its New York City office in 2017.

Founder Edward F. Beane retired from the firm in 2022, after a 42 year tenure. His commitment to quality legal services, dedicated client relationships, and positive outcomes was a main driver in Keane & Beane’s successful growth and continued longevity. Ed was also a firm believer in good corporate citizenship. While a member Keane & Beane, he co-founded “The Exchange Club Child Abuse Prevention Center of New York” (later renamed “April’s Child”) and strongly encouraged our attorneys and staff to seek out ways to better our community, a commitment our firm still prioritizes today.
