"I believe in exceptional advocacy that focuses on meticulous attention to detail and the depth of research and analysis our clients require to succeed both in and out of the courtroom."

Dylan Scully is a litigator in the firm’s Energy and Environmental Litigation practice group. He supports the firm’s major energy clients in defending and successfully resolving claims alleging contamination and wetlands loss associated with historical oil, gas, and pipeline operations across Louisiana. Dylan is dedicated to thorough legal research, analysis, fact development and case preparation that furthers complex defense strategy that must be tailored to procedural nuances under state and federal regulatory schemes.

Dylan employs keen analytical skills and attention to detail, partially attributable to his accounting background, to defend against claims with exposure of millions and sometimes billions of dollars in damages. In addition to his litigation practice, Dylan actively advises firm clients on regulatory compliance matters and related preemptive measures to minimize potential liability exposure under stringent state and federal regulatory schemes in the energy and environmental sectors.

In his practice, Dylan is committed to building a relationship with clients that goes beyond the context of imminent litigation. While every client’s needs differ, he believes that effective legal representation requires a better understanding
