About Phelps Dunbar LLP:
Companies with business interests across the South turn to Phelps Dunbar for counsel on their legal needs. With 11 office locations in the U.S. and in London, we serve clients in the region's major commercial centers. Our 300-plus lawyers focus on six core areas: labor and employment, litigation, business, admiralty, insurance coverage and healthcare. But it's more than our casework that sets our firm apart. We spend time with you off the clock, so we can learn everything from your strategic goals to challenging operational issues. We are known for asking questions, not just about what is, but about what should be. And we make sure that you access our experience seamlessly, with every lawyer in every office available to be part of your team. We do this because anything can make the difference in a business-critical deal or lawsuit. We embrace the future, not just of your industry but of our own. We are constantly looking for how to improve services and outcomes through technology. Through our Phelps Analytics Lab, we partner with Tulane University to pilot programs that use AI to identify business trends, develop litigation strategies and improve efficiency. We are proud to offer national talent with local pricing to companies working throughout the Gulf South. We welcome the chance to work with you.
Office Description:
Since our origin in New Orleans in 1853, Phelps Dunbar has developed into a regional legal practice offering services and locations across the Third Coast. Our founding city continues to offer home to Phelps' largest office, with nearly one hundred attorneys. As a cornerstone for our firm, the New Orleans office is a full service practice that represents a diverse range of clients from international corporations to small businesses and individuals. Attorneys in the New Orleans office represent a wide range of practice areas within our core groups of admiralty, business, litigation, labor and employment, and insurance and reinsurance, which allows us to better understand and meet the needs of our clients. Besides handling matters in the industries that are thriving in the Third Coast, our attorneys in New Orleans are well-versed in domestic and international issues. We are prepared to not only provide counsel for clients but to represent at the trial and appellate levels in both state and federal courts. Situated between the flourishing Central Business District and the historic French Quarter, the New Orleans office is dedicated to providing quality legal solutions and maintains an active role in building and strengthening the New Orleans community.
