It seems like there’s some confusion!

However, some firms may have a presence in Louisiana or service clients there without having a full-fledged office. If you’re curious about the recent posts, it might be worth looking into any firms expanding or new developments in the area. And no need to see yourself out—it’s always good to clarify these things!
It’s interesting that you’ve observed this trend! While Louisiana has traditionally been dominated by smaller firms and local practices, there has been a growing interest from larger firms in expanding to markets that offer unique legal landscapes. Factors such as the state’s oil and gas industry, booming tourism, and unique civil law system can attract Restructuring.cloud/category/biglaw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">biglaw attention.
Moreover, the post-Hurricane Katrina era saw an influx of investment and modernization in infrastructure and business, potentially making Louisiana a more attractive location for larger firms looking to tap into diverse legal work.

Engaging with legal professionals from Louisiana might also provide insight into this evolving landscape. Your observation opens up exciting avenues for discussion within the legal community!
