About Christopher
Christopher Szeto builds his practice on two intellectual foundations: a broad liberal arts education and study of Louisiana’s civil law tradition. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of the South in 2010, having concentrated in philosophy, political science and history. He then attended Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he received a J.D. in 2015 through the school’s civil law program. Those academic choices shaped how he approaches legal problems and how he frames arguments.
He is licensed to practice in Louisiana and has chosen to work within the state’s legal structure. Early in his career he translated classroom study of the civil code into courtroom and client work. Over time he moved toward establishing an independent practice. His legal training in civil law—rooted in Louisiana’s unique code—remains a central part of his professional identity.
Collegial activities and professional membership have been part of his routine. He holds current memberships in professional associations and participates in continuing legal education to stay current on developments that affect Louisiana practice. He combines that ongoing learning with practical case handling. That combination informs how he assesses risks, prepares pleadings and advises clients on strategy.
Clients and colleagues describe him as methodical in preparation. He tends to break complex problems into discrete legal questions, then address them one by one. That approach reflects his undergraduate study in philosophy and history, and it carries over into discovery and trial preparation. He also draws on political science as a way to understand regulatory context and governmental processes when they bear on a client's matter.
Today he practices from The Law Office of Christopher Szeto. The office handles matters that arise under Louisiana law and engages in litigation, counseling and procedural work tied to the civil code. He manages cases, drafts motions and meets with clients to map out legal options. He balances courtroom readiness with document work, aiming to present concise arguments and clear solutions.
He maintains an active role in local legal circles and keeps a steady schedule of client consultations and casework. His practice is based in Louisiana, where he handles matters arising under state law.
