Overview

Provided by Fishman Haygood LLP

Fishman Haygood is a Louisiana-based litigation and transactional firm built for the matters that require it most — complex disputes, high-stakes transactions, and the intersection of both. With roughly 40 attorneys in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, the firm runs lean by design: direct partner involvement, precise judgment, and three decades of earning the trust of clients who need it done right.

Work & experience

Provided by Fishman Haygood LLP

We handle everything from commercial disputes, securities litigation, class actions, environmental, energy, and bankruptcy matters to M&A, real estate, and private equity deals for businesses, institutions, and individuals nationwide. Attorneys routinely try high-stakes cases to verdict, lead complicated chapter 11 restructurings, and close complex transactions. As a boutique firm, we're not smaller for the sake of scale, but intentionally structured to handle sophisticated, consequential work.
