“I pride myself in efficiently synthesizing complex issues into a simple story that garners cost-effective results for clients. My litigation experience, focus on cost efficiency, and eDiscovery background allows me to offer clients a unique and thorough approach to litigation.”

Overview

Tyler is a litigator whose practice includes a wide variety of commercial litigation, including the prosecution and defense of contractual disputes, construction litigation, business disputes, tax disputes, trust and estate litigation, e-discovery, and professional liability litigation. He is also the leader of the firm’s Construction Industry Group.

Tyler represents a broad array of clients from sophisticated corporate clients to small and mid-sized businesses and their owners.  At the heart of Tyler’s practice lies a steadfast commitment to being client-centric, meticulously tailoring his legal strategies to respond to the unique needs of each individual client with a focus on: (1) cost efficiency; and (2) ensuring his clients receive prompt and effective communication at every stage of their legal journey.

Tyler serves as the chair of Liskow’s technology committee, and regularly shares advice and information on e-discovery and leverages technology in his practice to not only enhance his advocacy for his clients but also to deliver costs savings for his clients.

Tyler’s courtroom experience flourishes from his clerkship opportunities. While attending law school, he was a judicial extern to the Honorable Ralph Tyson, late Chief Judge of the United States Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, and prior to joining Liskow, he served as a law clerk to the Honorable Catherine D. Kimball, former Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court. “I started my career as a law clerk at the Louisiana Supreme Court where I was presented with some of Louisiana’s most intricate legal issues. I have relayed this experience into representing clients in connection with high stakes, complex litigation,” Tyler noted.
