Louisiana Civil Law System

Law firms and corporate counsel outside of Louisiana often seek out our firm when they are involved in commercial disputes within the state.  Unlike the other 49 states which use the English common law system, Louisiana operates under a civilian system largely influenced by the French Napoleonic Code.   Our legal team has an in-depth understanding of Louisiana’s civil system and regularly advises out-of-state attorneys on our state’s legal code.   Lawyers throughout the country, particularly in the bordering jurisdictions of Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas, trust our firm to provide the guidance needed to navigate Louisiana’s complex civilian system.
