Insurance

We have served as counsel to major national and international companies in insurance regulatory matters and transactions. Our specific areas of expertise include:

• Regulatory issues before the Louisiana State Department of Insurance
• Corporate restructurings and equity changes
• Investments
• Securities
• Banking
• Reinsurance
• Insolvency
• Product Liability

We also have substantial experience in defending various business and commercial product defect claims brought against a variety of different manufacturers and other corporations that sell products. We are especially skilled at developing factual and legal defenses for complex scientific and technical issues. We focus on early strategic thinking with the goal of obtaining the best business result for the client. We are often asked to suggest methods of risk management to minimize the impact of an anticipated problem.

Subrogation and Recovery

We have an active practice in recovering insurance payments paid out to policyholders because of the negligence of another person. Using a network of attorneys around the state of Louisiana, we ensure that an attorney familiar with local judges and legal customs handles the case. Once taken to judgment, we use the full array of available legal remedies to collect on the judgment, including garnishments and levies, execution on property, and suspension of driving privileges.
