Philosophy

From the ranks of its formidable professionals, Stone Pigman assembles the teams that clients need to solve their most challenging legal problems.

Beginning with our founding in 1929, Stone Pigman has been, and remains, a law firm for businesses large and small.

From our base in New Orleans, we handle litigation matters for clients in state and federal courts throughout Louisiana and the Gulf South. Our business lawyers assist clients in negotiating and documenting business transactions that are regional and national in scope.

Stone Pigman developed litigation expertise early in the fields of federal antitrust and securities litigation. Today, the complex litigation problems that businesses face, and that we handle, are found in state courts and arbitration venues as often as in federal court. Matters filling the trial dockets of Stone Pigman lawyers today include class actions, multi-district litigation and other complicated cases arising from mass torts, environmental claims, product liability actions, consumer fraud, bankruptcy, bank regulation, employment claims, health care regulation, utility regulation, state and federal taxation, construction, insurance regulation, gaming regulation and intellectual property disputes.

Stone Pigman's business practice grew from its origins in taxation and real estate and now extends to mergers and acquisitions, securities, corporate finance, intellectual property, technology, health care counseling and facility development, employment and benefits law, franchising and environmental law.

Our 80-year tradition of recruiting and training outstanding lawyers enables us to match the right teams of lawyers to our clients' needs. An additional component of the contemporary law practice is technology, to which we are committed as part of our drive to deliver superior client service.

Our practice, whether litigation or business, is distinguished by a common feature: outstanding lawyers solving their clients' most difficult problems.
