We are privileged to represent hotels, nightclubs, Mardi Gras krewes, arenas and venues, special events, product suppliers and their insurers. Our hospitality, entertainment and leisure cases have involved claims of premises defects, inadequate security, labor and employment, and negligent operations. We also represent entertainers and performers.

We proactively seek ways to add value to our client relationships. One way we do that for the industries and clients we represent is by presenting seminars as part of employee training programs and at industry conferences, presenting seminars for insurance carriers and their insureds, and publishing articles and risk management guidelines. Covered topics include litigation trends, insurance coverage, indemnity, implementing and maintaining a culture of safety, incident investigation, substantive areas of law, risk management, mock trials, trial practice, depositions, government regulation and industry standards
