About Berryl
Berryl Thompson-Broussard combines academic training in health law with courtroom experience and regulatory work. Her career path reflects steady movement from general legal training to a narrower practice involving hospitals, compliance, and federal court appearances. She is a familiar presence in health law circles in Louisiana.
Thompson-Broussard earned a Bachelor of Arts from Louisiana State University in 1999, majoring in sociology and mass communication with a concentration in public relations. She received her Juris Doctor from Southern University Law Center in 2003. After practicing for several years, she returned to academia and completed an LL.M. in Health Law at Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2012.
Her bar admissions include the State of Louisiana, the United States District Court for the Western, Eastern and Middle Districts of Louisiana, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions have supported a practice that often crosses state and federal procedural lines. She is also certified in health care compliance by the HCCA-Compliance Certification Board.
Memberships in professional organizations have been a consistent part of her professional life. She has held membership in the American Health Lawyers Association and the Health Care Compliance Association since around 2011–2012. She is also involved with the Louisiana Hospital Association Society of Lawyers and maintains membership in the Louisiana State Bar.
Colleagues describe her work as grounded in regulatory detail. Her LL.M. study and certification inform how she approaches hospital compliance, provider contracting, and related regulatory matters. She handles matters that require familiarity with federal statutes, administrative rules, and hospital governance structures. Her practice demands both transactional drafting and an ability to argue procedural and substantive points in federal court when cases move beyond administrative forums.
Thompson-Broussard practices at Gachassin Law Office. She balances client counseling on compliance and regulatory issues with representation in litigation and administrative matters. She currently focuses her practice on health care compliance, hospital law, and related regulatory and litigation matters.
