Liskow & Lewis

Liskow & Lewis was founded in 1935 and includes nearly 140 lawyers in four offices, strategically located in New Orleans, Lafayette and Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Houston, Texas. Since its inception, the firm's practice has focused on the energy and oil and gas industry, and has grown to meet the evolving demands of its clients, diversifying into a wide-ranging litigation and transactional practice across the Gulf Coast.

From selective recruiting practices to a strategic lateral process, our focus is on academic excellence and exemplary professional credentials. We believe the highest quality representation for clients begins with the highest levels of talent. This is manifest in the fact that over half of our lawyers were selected to Order of the Coif, and over two-thirds were members of the law review at their respective law schools.

The marketplace historically recognizes this excellence. For example, in 2016, U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers, BL Rankings, LLC, ranked Liskow & Lewis as the "Law Firm of the Year" for Oil and Gas in the United States. Fifty-seven of our lawyers were listed in the 2020 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, BL Rankings, LLC, and eighteen are listed in the America's Leading Business Lawyers 2020 Edition by Chambers USA.

New Orleans is often referred to as the "most unique" city in America. It is world-known for its famous cuisine, music and its annual Mardi Gras celebrations. New Orleans was established by French colonists and strongly influenced by their European culture. The city is known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its diverse heritage. The French Quarter, the oldest neighborhood in the city, is a streetcar ride from the New Orleans office. Locals and tourists enjoy the city's museums and landmarks. New Orleans is home to The National WWII Museum, the Confederate Memorial Hall, the Contemporary Arts Center, the Louisiana Children's Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. The beautiful nature of New Orleans can be experienced at the Audubon Nature Institute, Longue Vue House and Gardens, the New Orleans Botanical Garden, and City Park. Professional sports is another thing that locals love. New Orleans is home to the 2009 Super Bowl XLIV champion New Orleans Saints, the New Orleans Pelicans, and the New Orleans Baby Cakes. Each year New Orleans hosts the Sugar Bowl, the New Orleans Bowl and the Zurich Classic, a PGA golf tournament. Even in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the city and its residents continue to demonstrate the tenacity and civic pride that have made New Orleans such a distinctive part of the national landscape. Although tourism is a primary driver of the region's economy, New Orleans offers a diverse economic environment in which to maintain a successful law practice. Our local clients include leading members of the oil and gas, banking and maritime industries.
