Resolving business disputes in Louisiana
Intellectual property dispute finally settled for Square
Paying for goods and services by swiping a credit card through a plastic attachment on a cell phone has become so ubiquitous that it might be difficult to imagine any type of controversy surrounding the process.

The intellectual property dispute did not appear to impact Louisiana businesses who use the Square software.
Louisiana bar charges North Carolina bar with unfair competition
One of the most pleasant things to do when traveling is to explore local eating establishments. Tourists seem to enjoy trying menu items or beverages that are exclusive to certain restaurants and bars, and those businesses try to entice customers with their unique offerings. So when one business accuses another of unfair competition and trademark infringement, it can leave a bad taste in one's mouth.
Promotion company accused of tortious interference
Entertainers and sports athletes in Louisiana and beyond are often under contract regarding performances, public appearances and/or salary, among other things.

A recent incident involves one promotion company suing another for tortious interference in a contract signed by a former world champion fighter.
Protecting your bottom line through business litigation
Louisiana business owners are always on the lookout for ways to cut costs, improve productivity and protect bottom line interests.
