In the wake of any large-scale natural disaster or business interruption, clients can rely on Jones Walker for planning and recovery assistance and guidance while resuming operations. Jones Walker’s Disaster Recovery Client Team offers businesses and individuals assistance in several areas.  We assisted hundreds of clients during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, and more recently Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.  We gained recognition for our work during those disasters. 

We have posted to this site information that may be relevant to those impacted by recent disasters. We will be continuing to update this page with materials and laws, programs or recovery resources change or are revised.
