Appellate
Our firm’s appellate credentials are unmatched. A substantial number of our lawyers clerked for federal district or appellate courts, and many clerked for both. We’ve represented clients in the United States Supreme Court and nearly every federal circuit court of appeals. We’ve also handled appeals in the Louisiana Supreme Court, every Louisiana court of appeal, and other state supreme and appellate courts. And we’ve won major appellate victories, both in Louisiana and elsewhere, on a wide array of legal issues, representing clients in many types of sophisticated commercial litigation.
Barrasso Usdin won a victory at the Louisiana Fourth Circuit, dismissing lost profit claims against the firm's clients in connection with the construction of a large apartment building.
Our firm frequently represents energy companies in “legacy” lawsuits brought by landowners claiming property contamination from oil and gas production and exploration activities. In one such case, the landowners sought to recuse a trial judge on constitutional-law grounds based on past judicial campaign advertisements.
The U.S. Fifth Circuit affirms Barrasso Usdin’s trial victory, finding that insurer did not waive its right to deny coverage under policy’s notice provision.
