Indispensable counsel for a complex employment dispute

When our company faced a sensitive wrongful termination claim, David Korn was our first call. His deep, 30+ years of experience in Louisiana employment law was immediately evident. He masterfully guided us through the investigation and negotiations, blending sharp legal strategy with practical business advice. His recognition in labor and employment litigation is well-deserved. David’s understanding of both management and individual perspectives, honed at Phelps Dunbar, was invaluable. He secured a favorable resolution that protected our interests without costly litigation. Professional, responsive, and exceptionally knowledgeable.
