What Exactly Is Business Law

If your idea of business law is large groups of lawyers that scurry to court with briefcases while costing you an arm and leg then we are about to blow your metaphorical mind. Here at Sheppard Law we love dispelling stereotypes but you knew that already. After all, Amber's dog is our Slidell business law firm logo and she has kept her sense of humor in tact even as a Slidell family law lawyer.


That's why in honor of Small Business Week, we wanted to share what Business Law means to long-time Northshore Louisiana lawyer Amber Sheppard & Sheppard Law. In our eyes- it's helping small businesses navigate the pitfalls and triumphs of entrepreneurship. The small businesses can be anywhere from one man or one woman operations to companies who have given hundreds of folks a job.
