Brian T. Carmouche

Brian Carmouche is a Louisiana-based attorney whose practice concentrates on Legacy litigation and environmental damage claims arising under Louisiana’s Act 312. Brian has practiced environmental civil litigation since graduating from the Southern University Law Center in 2006. With extensive experience representing landowners and other stakeholders in complex oilfield contamination disputes, Brian provides strategic counsel at every stage of the remediation and litigation process.

Act 312 litigation—governed by Louisiana’s environmental remediation framework and overseen by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources—requires a nuanced understanding of regulatory compliance, scientific evidence, and historical oilfield operations. Brian works closely with environmental experts, engineers, and regulatory authorities to navigate the technical and legal challenges unique to Legacy cases, including site investigations, feasibility evaluations, remediation plans, and court-approved cleanup standards.

Known for his technical expertise and a practical, solution-oriented approach, Brian has handled matters involving soil and groundwater contamination and remediation, surface damages, mineral lease disputes, and contractual indemnity claims. The practice includes both trial advocacy and negotiated resolutions, with a focus on protecting clients’ property rights while ensuring compliance with state-mandated remediation requirements.

A lifelong Louisianian, Brian is deeply familiar with the state’s oil and gas history and the evolving legal landscape surrounding Legacy lawsuits. Clients value his ability to translate complex environmental and regulatory concepts into clear legal strategies that align with both litigation objectives and long-term land stewardship.

Brian and his wife live in Baton Rouge where they have raised a wonderful family.
