LOUISIANA RECORD

On September 21, 2016, a letter was signed and sent by Governor John Bel Edwards to multiple coastal parishes in the state of Louisiana to “encourage” them to sue oil and gas companies in their parishes, as well as those that previously operated in the area. 

This past Thursday the District Attorney for the 15th Judicial District, Keith Stutes, announced the filing of litigation against 49 oil and gas defendants on behalf of Vermilion Parish.

So many times our companies walk into the courtroom and look at the next few years fly by as they spend their time in painfully draining litigation.

Lawsuits certainly have a way of getting everyone’s attention, especially here in Louisiana.
