About Hannah
Hannah Salter practices law in Louisiana and blends formal training in civil law with an undergraduate grounding in business. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Northwestern State University of Louisiana in 2009. She went on to receive her Juris Doctor from Louisiana State University — Baton Rouge in 2012, where her course work included civil and comparative law.
Her academic track laid out a path that connects courtroom reasoning and business realities. Those dual strands shape how she approaches client matters. The business degree gave her a practical vocabulary for commercial issues. The legal training sharpened tools for drafting, negotiation, and litigation strategy.
Salter serves as Of Counsel at Manard Law. In that capacity she provides advice to clients and supports litigation and transactional matters handled by the firm. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing files and attentive to procedural detail. She operates primarily within Louisiana courts and maintains the professional memberships that accompany such practice.
Her memberships include the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, the New Orleans Bar Association and an American Inn of Court. Those associations suggest regular engagement with continuing legal education and local legal networks. She attends meetings and programs that address both state and federal practice issues, which helps keep her knowledge of rules and procedure current.
Clients and peers see in her background a practical link between business concerns and civil legal processes. She relies on that link when evaluating risk, advising on contract questions or handling disputes that have commercial elements. The comparative law coursework from her J.D. program informs how she views differences in legal systems and can add perspective when cases raise cross-jurisdictional or regulatory questions.
Salter’s style is deliberate. She breaks complex problems into discrete steps and sets out options for clients in plain language. Court filings and client memoranda emphasize clarity and a chronology of events. That clarity serves clients in both negotiation settings and contested proceedings.
She remains active in the New Orleans legal community and maintains memberships that reflect both state and federal practices. She now serves as Of Counsel at Manard Law, where her work centers on civil matters and legal issues that intersect with business concerns.
