EDWARD T. HAYES, Leake and Andersson
Mr. Hayes focuses his practice both on litigation and international trade and business transactions. He has extensive litigation experience, dating back to 1996 when he clerked for the Honorable Gerald P. Fedoroff of the Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans. Since that time he has represented domestic and international clients in products liability, insurance, maritime, warranty/redhibition, and professional malpractice cases in state and federal courts throughout the Gulf South region. His litigation practice includes the defense of mass casualty, class action and multi-district litigation cases.
Mr. Hayes also leads the firm's international trade and business transaction practice, covering import/export transactions; international sales of goods and services; disputes under bilateral investment treaties; international intellectual property matters, and antidumping, countervailing duty and other trade remedy proceedings before the Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission. Mr. Hayes provides government affairs services in Washington and Baton Rouge, primarily related to international economic investment programs associated with free trade agreements.
