R. Parker

LeCorgne

A business owner’s business lawyer, Parker draws on his decades of experience in private practice, as head of several successful companies, and as a member of the board of directors of several international enterprises, to provide clients with full-spectrum counsel on a broad range of legal, commercial, and financial matters. He understands the strategic goals and day-to-day concerns of owners, shareholders, executives, investors, lenders, and borrowers alike. Over the course of his career, Parker has helped numerous publicly traded and closely held companies negotiate and close mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, asset-based financings, lending agreements, real estate purchases and sales, and other contracts and deals.

Parker is president of the New Orleans-based Dr. G. H. Tichenor Antiseptic Company, a position he has held for nearly 21 years at the 113-year old, family-owned business. Before this, he co-founded and served as managing director for LeCorgne Loewenbaum & Co., LLC, formerly a private investment banking firm that provided financial advisory services for emerging-growth and middle-market companies.

Parker began his legal career at Jones Walker, where he delivered broad-based counsel to publicly traded and privately held corporations. At the firm, he gained a lasting reputation as an effective business negotiator and for his ability to successfully resolve conflicts between clients and their strategic partners, vendors, and customers, often before reaching the courtroom. Subsequently, he co-founded his own law firm focusing on corporate, project finance, real estate, and banking law, where he served as a name partner for more than a decade.
