Career

Charles Wilmore is a trial lawyer specializing in complex litigation involving toxic torts, environmental damage, maritime accidents, construction claims and defects, commercial disputes, and insurance coverage. He serves as Practice Group Leader for the firm’s Product Liability, Class Action, and Toxic Tort Team. His toxic tort and environmental practice includes environmental exposure, occupational disease, personal injury, mass tort, class actions, property damage, and regulatory litigation. Charles’ maritime practice focuses on near-shore and offshore litigation for personal injury, property damage, and spill-related claims. He also handles construction and commercial disputes arising out of everything from significant residential and commercial properties to marine and shore-based industrial facilities.

Although based out of New Orleans and licensed in Louisiana, Charles provides guidance to clients with much larger geographic interests and is often asked to seek admission pro hac vice in litigation in other states. He is an approved trial counsel for industry-leading companies and has successfully defended many thousands of cases as both counsel of record and as a strategic advisor. Charles brings significant, effective experience in the development of expert evidence ranging from cutting edge science and medicine to complex engineering and construction issues.
