New Orleans Civil Litigation Attorneys

Business disputes and federal enforcement proceedings can wreak havoc on companies’ day-to-day operations and their bottom lines. When a dispute arises or a federal agency such as the Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Inspector General (OIG), or Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) serves your company with a subpoena or civil investigative demand, your business can come to a screeching halt, and yet things can start to move more quickly than you are prepared to handle.

Cases We Handle

We represent clients in all types of civil litigation in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana as well as appeals before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. Our experience includes negotiating settlements and obtaining favorable outcomes for clients in matters including:

• Business Litigation – Our attorneys’ experience in business litigation spans from contract disputes to cases involving misappropriation of intellectual property. We provide results-oriented representation focused on protecting our clients’ interests as efficiently as possible, whether that means aggressively pursuing litigation or strategically defending against claims for liability.
• Healthcare Litigation – Our healthcare litigation practice involves representing physician-owned entities, pharmacies, hospitals, treatment clinics, testing laboratories, durable medical equipment (DME) companies, and other clients in private litigation as well as civil enforcement proceedings involving allegations of Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and Department of Labor (DOL) fraud. We have extensive experience in healthcare-related litigation and rely on our attorneys’ deep knowledge of the industry to hit the ground running.

We routinely work with clients in crisis scenarios, and we can use our experience to protect your company.
• Trial Litigation – While most cases settle, sometimes, it will be in a company’s or individual plaintiff’s or defendant’s interests to go to trial. If it is advisable to take your case to trial, the senior attorneys on our civil litigation team will do everything necessary to advance your interests in court.
• Appellate Litigation – In addition to our trial litigation practice, we also represent clients on appeal. If you received an unfavorable verdict at the trial level, our appellate lawyers can quickly assess whether you have grounds to challenge the outcome on appeal.
