Chad Lederman became a lawyer for a simple reason: to help people.

He earned his J.D. from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he was selected for the Order of Barristers, led the Trial Advocacy Program, and placed in the top four nationally in advocacy competitions. 

Admitted to the Louisiana Bar in 2014, he spent the next decade at Dudley DeBosier building his career in personal injury litigation.

• Represented clients at every stage of litigation, from evidence gathering to courtroom advocacy
• Built lasting ties to the Louisiana legal community as a member of both the New Orleans Bar Association and the Louisiana State Bar Association

At Orion, Chad serves as Chief Legal Officer, bringing his experience in plaintiff litigation to support partner firms across operations, growth, and team development, while each firm retains full control over its legal decisions and client representation.

Outside of work, he spends time with his wife and two dogs, exploring new restaurants, or slow-cooking something on the backyard smoker.
