Whether before the bench or the jury box, in the courtroom or the boardroom, Gieger, Laborde & Laperouse attorneys are well versed in the areas of legal advocacy on behalf of clients as diverse as business itself and in matters ranging from class action defense to aviation litigation.  Today’s legal environment must include aggressive courtroom abilities and sharp, concise legal argument that sophisticated or uninformed juries and individuals can understand and accept.  Our attorneys have demonstrated in numerous trials, hearings, mediations, and negotiations their repeated abilities to convince colleagues, co-counsel, judges, juries, and adversaries of their clients’ business issues, interests and strategies.

Along with the depth of experience in trial work, GLL also provides transactional and regulatory legal services to industries in energy exploration, production and distribution in and around the coastal waters of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas -  both onshore and offshore.   Our transactional attorneys provide energy-related businesses with services which include title examinations, due diligence and contract review, and general corporate advices in matters relating to exploration, acquisition, transport, delivery, divestiture, and corporate mergers, to name a few.

Our firm was formed by a group of skilled, experienced trial attorneys who believe that bigger doesn’t always mean better, that more people on a client’s matter doesn’t necessarily create a better outcome, and that lawyers who join forces for reasons more aligned with common goals than with a big name can and do achieve great results for their clients.  Our clients reap the rewards of big firm experience in a small firm setting.

Since 1991, our success has proved us right – a close group of attorneys with the same work ethic in related fields of practice and possessing similar goals for their clients can be rewarding – most especially for our clients but also for our attorneys and staff.  These principles are the foundation of Gieger Laborde & Laperouse.
