Gordon Arata is a full-service, diversified business law firm servicing savvy clients in a range of industries across the Gulf South and beyond. With a team of over 40 regional and nationally recognized attorneys strategically located in Texas and Louisiana, we manage complex issues or small matters that impact businesses. Our industries and practice areas include banking & financial, bankruptcy, chemical & industrial, construction, corporate & shareholder, employment, energy & natural resources, real estate, tax, and telecommunications among others.

Specifically, the firm’s energy expertise has taken it from Louisiana and Texas to the Gulf of Mexico to the North Slope of Alaska to the Bass Straits of Australia. Government regulators for the energy industry in Louisiana have repeatedly looked to us for industry perspective in drafting and revising regulations and agreement forms. Ever on the cutting edge, the firm has obtained “first-ever” relief in numerous contexts—from suspensions of production on the Outer Continental Shelf to summary judgment in take-or-pay litigation to tariff relief for existing pipeline services regulated by the Louisiana Public Service Commission, to cite just a few examples.

National counsel turn to the firm to represent their interests locally. From M&A, commercial financing, and general business transactions to commercial litigation, environmental and toxic torts to products liability, our team of attorneys are skilled both in and out of the courtroom as problem solvers who deliver creative and strategic solutions.
