Law and Business Career
Couhig practiced law in the areas of antitrust, casualty and personal injury litigation, products liability, class action litigation, and appellate matters. He was a partner in the firm Adams and Reese from 1975 until 2003. He was involved in the expansion of the firm into Baton Rouge, Houston, Jackson, Mississippi, and Washington, D.C.
Couhig was also the principal owner of Couhig-Southern Environmental of New Orleans, Inc., one of the largest Louisiana-owned pest and termite control companies. This was the company begun by his father, whom Couhig bought out before himself selling in 2001 to a firm based in Lafayette.
Though continuing to practice law, Couhig now speaks more about building viable companies than engaging in litigation. He left Adams and Reese on the day after Labor Day 2003. Couhig and two other attorneys started Couhig Partners in September 2003 as a firm that works with entrepreneurs. As of 2006, the firm had more than twenty lawyers, a consulting group, and an office in Baton Rouge headed by former Louisiana Attorney General Richard Ieyoub. Couhig is also the managing partner of Couhig Investments, LLC which invests in small businesses in Louisiana.
