Walt Green focuses his practice on cybersecurity, white collar criminal defense and governmental investigations, and litigation. Walt served as the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana and the Executive Director for the National Center for Disaster Fraud from 2013-2017.

In addition to defending businesses against cyber class actions in multiple jurisdictions, Walt routinely provides real-time counseling for companies to respond to data breaches and cyber intrusions of their computer systems, including incidents across multiple states. He guides companies through cyberattacks, including C-suite counseling, coordinating forensic efforts, liaising with local and federal law enforcement agencies, and providing domestic and international notification advice.

For over 30 years, Tom Sullivan has represented clients in almost every aspect of the health care industry, from hospitals and nursing facilities to physicians and surgeons, suppliers, consultants and vendors. His early career experience as a contract litigator taught him not only how to try a case but also how to identify potential issues when drafting documents and address them before they result in contract provisions that produce future litigation. He applies this linear and pragmatic approach when drafting business contracts and transaction documents and advising his clients in the health care field.
Working in the health care field also means being available to assist clients at any time—an approach that has often helped prevent transactions from failing. Tom makes it a point to be available for clients when needed, whenever and whatever the circumstances.
