Harrell as Managing Partner of the firm’s Louisiana practice, based out of the New Orleans hub. With this new role, Mr. Harrell will oversee all attorneys and business operations throughout the state, furthering QPWB’s mission to deliver unparalleled legal services across the nation.

Brian W. Harrell brings to his new role more than two decades of legal expertise, primarily focusing on insurance defense litigation. His proficiency spans a wide range of specialties, including construction and casualty litigation, first and third-party insurance coverage, products liability, bad faith litigation, complex commercial litigation, professional liability, workers' compensation defense, and toxic tort litigation, with a particular emphasis on asbestos and hearing loss cases.

Before his elevation, Mr. Harrell played pivotal roles across various law firms in Louisiana, demonstrating exceptional leadership and expertise in construction litigation, casualty litigation, and hurricane defense litigation. His adept representation of the nation's largest insurance companies, business owners, and Fortune 500 companies has been instrumental in managing complex claims in both state and federal courts.

Mr. Harrell, a Louisiana State University alum, graduated with degrees in Political Science and Philosophy before earning his Juris Doctor from Tulane Law School. Licensed to practice in Louisiana and Texas, he is an active member of several bar associations, including the Louisiana, Texas, American, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Federal Bar Associations.
