OVERVIEW

Christovich & Kearney has represented clients for over eighty years in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana and neighboring states. The firm's founder Alvin R. Christovich began his law practice in 1921, and was joined later by his brother-in-law William J. Kearney, Jr.

Christovich & Kearney first earned a reputation for excellence in trial advocacy and insurance defense litigation. The firm has enhanced that reputation and has broadened its scope to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Christovich & Kearney represents clients in the following areas of law: admiralty and maritime, aviation, medical device, business and corporate, casualty and insurance, employment, products liability, environmental and toxic tort, health care, professional liability including medical and legal malpractice, premises liability, transportation, workers' compensation and longshore claims. Our attorneys are experienced in mass tort claims, class actions and other complex litigation. Additionally, Christovich & Kearney has expanded its expertise beyond defense litigation to include advice and planning in the areas of tax, corporate, health care, estate, and transactional matters.
Christovich & Kearney provides quality representation in a responsive and cost-efficient manner. We are aware of the needs of clients to predict and control legal costs and we work with them to achieve the goals of litigation management programs and to arrive at suitable arrangements consistent with the requirements of the case and client.
