Liskow & Lewis was founded in 1935 and includes nearly 140 lawyers in four offices, strategically located in New Orleans, Lafayette and Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Houston, Texas. Since its inception, the firm’s practice has focused on the energy and oil and gas industry, and has grown to meet the evolving demands of its clients, diversifying into a wide-ranging litigation and transactional practice across the Gulf Coast.

From selective recruiting practices to a strategic lateral process, our focus is on academic excellence and exemplary professional credentials. We believe the highest quality representation for clients begins with the highest levels of talent. This is manifest in the fact that over half of our lawyers were selected to Order of the Coif, and over two-thirds were members of the law review at their respective law schools.

The marketplace historically recognizes this excellence. For example, in 2016, U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers, BL Rankings, LLC, ranked Liskow & Lewis as the “Law Firm of the Year” for Oil and Gas in the United States. Fifty-seven of our lawyers were listed in the 2020 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, BL Rankings, LLC, and eighteen are listed in the America’s Leading Business Lawyers 2020 Edition by Chambers USA.

Ottinger Hebert, LLC was formed in 2000 to serve the legal needs of clients with a focus in the oil and gas industry. Since that time, the firm has grown to serve businesses, individuals and municipalities in transactional, regulatory and litigation matters. As a trusted advisor to many leading companies in the highly regulated oil and gas industry, and with a broad range of experience in the representation of other clients in both the private and public sector, Ottinger Hebert has always strived to provide expert legal advice to all of its clients.
