Gordon Arata

About

At Gordon Arata Montgomery Barnett, we thoroughly understand our clients’ business and are skilled problem solvers.  We represent savvy clients across a wide array of industries.  Prominent among these are energy, maritime, chemical, construction, finance, banking, real estate, telecommunications and public utilities.  With offices strategically located in Louisiana and Texas, we continue to evolve to meet the demands of our clients across the Gulf Coast and beyond.

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.  With energy at the forefront of our development, our firm has also expanded to service the ever-increasing demands of our clients in other areas such as commercial litigation, insurance coverage and defense, bankruptcy, tax, construction and real estate. Whether on land or at sea, in the courtroom or at the negotiating table, when we are fighting for you, we are in our element.
