Career

Carey Menasco is sought by businesses throughout the U.S. for complex commercial litigation involving contractual and other disputes between businesses, intellectual property disputes, professional liability disputes, with an emphasis on legal malpractice defense and D&O liability, and bankruptcy and creditors’ rights. Carey handles cases both in state and federal courts.

Carey’s practice is more heavily weighted to federal court where persuasive writing is critical – and where she excels. Clients rely on Carey’s ability to get to the heart of a case and convey that convincingly.

Her bankruptcy and creditors rights work reaches beyond Louisiana, and she also represents lien holders and creditors’ committees in bankruptcy cases.

Clients appreciate Carey’s candor when, as defendant, she sees the potential for liability, or as plaintiff, she sees that recovery may be unlikely. “I like to make sure that my clients are not throwing good money after bad.”

“My favorite cases are complex, document-intensive cases. This is advantageous to clients because I see the big picture – what’s important and what’s not – and this leads to much greater efficiency.”
