Our highly regarded attorneys hold advanced degrees and certifications, including Masters in Tax Law (L.L.M. in Taxation) and board certifications in tax law and estate planning certified by the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization. We guide our business clients through every stage of development, from initial formation through mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs, transfers, and expansion into new markets.

Blue Williams has an exemplary record litigating employment-related cases on behalf of our clients. Our team of attorneys has handled thousands of workers’ compensation claims under both the state and federal workers’ compensation schemes. The broad range of our representation includes the defense of employers in wrongful discharge, employment discrimination, and sexual harassment claims brought in state and federal courts.

Our highly capable and experienced attorneys audit and prepare employment policy and procedure manuals, including drug testing, pre-employment physical and background checks, and the necessary ERISA, FMLA, FLSA and HIPAA policies. We are well-versed in the drafting, review and negotiation of employment contracts, including the use of non-competition, non-solicitation, trade secret, invention, copyright, trademark, and severance agreements.

Premises Liability
Blue Williams still devotes significant resources to representing insurers, businesses and homeowners in the defense of premises liability claims. The firm was founded on assisting large retailers and commercial and residential property owners with slip and fall cases, falling merchandise, building code issues, sidewalks, stairways, and premises defects. We helped shape the jurisprudence and write the laws on Louisiana’s Merchant Liability Statute. From landlord/tenant disputes to recreational land use immunity to condominium issues, our general casualty litigation team has the experience needed to investigate and resolve any premises-related claim.
Construction Litigation
Our Construction Law Group has decades of experience with contractors and insurers, which we utilize to assist our clients with all areas of construction law. We have a thorough understanding of issues that arise before, during and after a project. We represent commercial and residential contractors, sub-contractors, developers, design professionals, product manufacturers, material suppliers, property owners and insurers, builders, engineers, and architects.

Personal Injury
Our Automobile and Trucking Group handles all aspects of automobile liability, including bodily injury (third party and UM), property damage, and subrogation claims. We handle more than just routine transportation accident and injury litigation – we also excel in defending complex personal injury and death claims. Our litigators use cutting-edge investigation methods, forensic medical and scientific developments, and evidentiary trends to equip our clients with the most efficient defenses. We also engage competent and skilled experts to successfully defend causation issues and to scrutinize post-accident medical treatment, including life care plans. Finally, we provide risk-management advice to clients regarding safety protocols, pre- and post-incident best practices, and pre-litigation representation to resolve disputes early on, avoiding costly litigation.
Medical Malpractice
Blue Williams’ Professional Liability Group represents a large number of professionals practicing in a broad range of occupations. We represent physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, and all of the major medical malpractice insurance carriers in the region. We represent clients in civil litigation, licensing, and regulatory matters, and we provide counseling in all areas of professional liability.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate and succession planning can be a complex matter, especially in light of continually evolving policies enacted by Congress. Our team has developed plans that simplify and personalize the process to meet the needs of each client. Our estate planning attorneys fulfill estate planning objectives with an eye toward minimizing taxes at the state and federal levels. We specialize in the preparation of wills, special need trusts, life insurance trusts, marital agreements, powers of attorney, and other related estate planning documents.
Wills
We handle all aspects of the probate process, including the drafting of succession documents to appoint the executor/administrator, filing of the will, preparation of a sworn descriptive list identifying all assets owned by the decedent and their date of death value, and the Petition and Judgment of Possession, which places the heirs into possession of the estate assets. We assist clients with preparing federal estate tax returns if desired, as well as oversee the collection of non-probate assets, including life insurance and retirement account proceeds. We also represent successions, estates, litigation of successions, and wills and trusts with regard to any contested issues that may arise.
