Taylor Brett is a seasoned litigator with a diverse portfolio of experience representing clients across multiple industries, predominately in the midstream and downstream sectors of the petroleum industry. He concentrates his practice in the areas of general casualty, toxic tort, premises liability, products liability, eminent domain, insurance coverage and defense, and commercial litigation. Taylor advocates for his clients at the trial and appellate levels in both state and federal court.. Taylor takes a proactive, immersive approach to understanding the needs of every client and evaluating each one of their cases. He believes that thorough investigation of a case at its outset is essential when it comes to formulating the best litigation strategy. In keeping with this mindset, Taylor dives headfirst into every case that comes across his desk, analyzing the facts, assessing the applicable laws, and identifying the types of evidence needed to support the client’s claims or defenses. Once he develops the appropriate plan of action for a case, Taylor keeps the lines of communication open with the client at all times to keep the client apprised of unexpected case developments, and to work with the client on preparing necessary adjustments to the plan. This method has led to countless favorable outcomes over the course of Taylor’s career.. Taylor believes that attorneys — especially litigators — have an ongoing obligation to stay up-to-date on the law. As part of this duty, Taylor habitually monitors civil litigation-related bills and other measures introduced during legislative sessions and notifies clients of the potential effects of the proposed legislation upon passage. He uses this approach to construct preemptive strategies for clients to put themselves in the best possible position before the impending changes to the law take effect. Taylor also writes extensively on the subject of legislation that impacts civil litigation. The Louisiana State Law Institute cited one of his articles during its deliberations when proposing the recent amendments to Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Article 966 regarding summary judgment procedure.. Prior to practicing law, Taylor graduated magna cum laude from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he served as a Casenote & Comment Editor for the Loyola Law Review, and was named a William L. Crowe, Sr. Scholar. Taylor regularly gives his time to working with law students by serving on the Loyola Law Review Alumni Advisory Board as well as the Loyola Law Career Development Committee.
