Overview
Kirk Jones helps corporations and other business entities throughout Louisiana and the U.S. in complex commercial litigation, corporate bankruptcy, insolvency and creditors’ representations. Clients also seek Kirk’s help in claims involving trusts, estates and succession litigation, indenture trustees, arbitration and other contentious corporate and partnership disputes.
Kirk’s business litigation cases tend to be difficult and high exposure. For example, he has recently handled:
- A trust and estate dispute in south Louisiana involving a residual interest and acts of ingratitude, a case worth hundreds of millions of dollars
- A breach of partnership claim involving a New Orleans law partnership being sued by Kirk’s client, a former partner
- A creditor’s claim, asserted by a bank client, involving a breach of obligations and collateral (i.e., several million dollars worth of pig iron to be used in the refining process) seized in the port of New Orleans and later sold
