The firm is proud to announce that David N. Luder was recently selected for New Orleans CityBusiness' "Ones to Watch: Law Firms". 

David's practice focuses on complex litigation and multi-party arbitration, including contracts, business torts and commercial disputes, as well as securities litigation and arbitration.

David holds full law degrees from Northwestern University School of Law, Chicago, and the University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
