Essential Counsel for Our Commercial Real Estate and Corporate Needs

As a small business owner in New Orleans, navigating a recent commercial property acquisition and the accompanying financing was a daunting prospect. From our first consultation, Bart Bacigalupi demonstrated precisely why he has earned recognition in real estate and business law. His 18 years of experience were immediately evident, not just in his command of the law, but in his practical, strategic approach. He guided us seamlessly through the complexities of the loan documentation with his commercial finance expertise and meticulously handled the real estate closing. Beyond the transaction, his advice on our corporate governance structure and the associated services agreements was invaluable, providing a solid foundation for our future growth. Bart’s deep local roots, from his Loyola law degree to his practice at Phelps Dunbar, mean he understands the unique landscape of doing business here. What truly sets him apart is his ability to distill complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance. He is responsive, thorough, and possesses a keen eye for detail that prevented several potential issues. We emerged from the process not only with a successful acquisition but with immense confidence in our legal footing. For any Louisiana business facing corporate, financing, or real estate matters, Bart is the first and only call we will make.
