Additional Information Taggart Morton’s litigation practice reflects the specialization of the firm’s attorneys in regulated industries of all types, including public utilities, health care, technology, media and communications, transportation, and oil & gas.

Drawing from this base of clients, together with its representation of numerous small businesses and property owners, the firm’s litigation practice embraces virtually every type of litigation dispute, including commercial and business litigation (including tax disputes), tort and insurance defense litigation (including products liability litigation), antitrust and trade regulation, intellectual property, workplace law, media/technology law, environmental and toxic tort litigation and construction litigation.

Our litigators have appeared in all Louisiana State and federal courts, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal, the Louisiana Supreme Court, and the Office of Worker’s Compensation. Members of this group have argued cases before the United States Supreme Court and have presented complaints and business review requests to the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. The firm’s litigators combine nearly 150 years of experience in the handling of these matters.
