         “The move by LaPorte Houma directors to measure our interest in a merger timed perfectly with our own strategic considerations for Lanaux Felger’s future,” Lanaux said. “The benefits to our firm, clients, and professionals are multifold. We will be able to offer our clients additional services and resources as well as sophisticated technical support to address the needs of working in an increasingly complex industry environment. Our professionals will have access to firm and national continuing professional education courses and more opportunities for career development.

         “Beyond that, and perhaps most important to us, this is a merger with a firm whose culture and commitment are similar to ours, enabling us to enhance services to our clients as they face industry and regulatory changes,” Lanaux said.

         According to William “Ted” Mason, LaPorte president and CEO, “With this merger, LaPorte is strengthening our Houma practice and bringing complementary services to an expanded client base. We are very excited that this merger is moving forward so smoothly. Terrebonne, Lafourche, and St. Mary Parishes are strategically and economically important to the state, and we are very proud to be able to build on our presence there.”
