Labor & Employment

For decades, Keogh Cox has represented employers, insurance companies, and businesses of all sizes in labor and employment matters throughout Louisiana. Our team works with clients to navigate complex employment laws, reduce risk, and address disputes before they escalate into litigation.

When claims arise, we defend employers in state and federal courts, as well as before administrative agencies. Our experience includes handling matters involving discrimination, whistleblower claims, workers’ compensation issues, and other employment-related disputes under Louisiana and federal law.

We regularly assist clients with responses to EEOC investigations, defend claims under statutes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and civil rights laws, and represent employers in both trial and appellate proceedings.

Beyond litigation, we provide ongoing counsel to help businesses stay compliant and avoid disputes. This includes drafting employment policies, preparing contracts, advising on hiring and termination decisions, and conducting internal investigations. Many clients rely on us as outside general counsel for day-to-day employment and human resources matters.
