What Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin & Hubbard does

Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin & Hubbard is a private professional law corporation founded in 1986 and headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. The firm operates across three Gulf Coast offices — New Orleans (headquarters at 601 Poydras St., Suite 2775), Baton Rouge (9311 Bluebonnet Blvd.), and Houston (801 Travis Street, Suite 1800) — and provides legal services through 13 practice areas: Admiralty, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Bankruptcy, Commercial & Transactional, Commercial Real Estate, Employment, Energy, Estate Planning/Trusts/Successions/Probate, Family Law, Fidelity & Surety, Insurance Coverage, Insurance Defense, Litigation, and Tax.

The firm's core client base comprises commercial enterprises concentrated along the Gulf Coast, including insurance companies, maritime and energy operators, debtors and creditors in bankruptcy proceedings, banks and financial institutions, and government entities. Practice depth is anchored in bankruptcy/restructuring, admiralty, energy, and insurance coverage, with the firm representing all sides of bankruptcy matters (debtors, creditors, committees, DIP lenders, trustees) and handling matters in specialized venues including the Eastern District of Louisiana, Southern District of Texas, Delaware, and Southern District of California.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional services fees — hourly rates, fixed fees, and contingent/alternative fee arrangements depending on matter type — with no public pricing disclosure. The firm does not develop proprietary technology products; it operates a traditional law firm model relying on thought leadership (Insights/Blog), industry events, bar association involvement, and brand recognition through Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and Lawdragon rankings. GTM relies on direct enterprise engagement, professional reputation, and referrals rather than self-service or platform channels.
