MARK E. POSEY
Mark comes to the firm from the Louisiana Department of Justice, where he was an Assistant Attorney General handling high-exposure risk litigation and substantial subrogation claims for state employees and agencies including the Office of Risk Management, Department of Public Safety and Corrections, the University of Louisiana System, the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, the Department of Transportation and Development, and the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.
His practice has been concentrated in civil litigation for the twelve years preceding his move to Ayres, Warren, Shelton & Williams, but his earlier experience encompassed significant transactional work: primarily large, impaired, and bulk asset sales; private acquisitions; regulatory compliance; real-estate curative work; and large-scale secured transactions for a variety of public and private clients. Prior to his employment by the State of Louisiana in 1995, Mark was Program Manager for the Resolution Trust Corporation's legal services contractor ethics program in Washington, D.C. He served as Special Counsel to the Joint FDIC/RTC Outside Counsel Conflicts Committee, having previously been Regional Conflicts Coordinator at the RTC's Denver Regional Office.
While assigned to the Bossier City Consolidated Office of the FDIC, Mark was a Staff Attorney, then a Senior Attorney in the Commercial/Non-litigation and Litigation/Bankruptcy sections. He was designated the BCCO's Real Estate contact attorney and Securities and Asset-Marketing backup contacts, and authored a Crime Control and Taxpayer Recovery Act analysis in a significant case that was adopted as the standard format for such analyses in the Chicago Region.
Before going to work for the FDIC in late 1990, Mark was in private practice with Cooper, Hales & Posey of Rayville, Louisiana. He began as an associate with the predecessor firm of Cooper, Hales, and Aycock in West Monroe, Louisiana in 1985, and became a partner in 1986. Mark was also a part-time assistant district attorney in Louisiana's Fifth Judicial District from 1987 to 1989, and again in 1990, first as a prosecutor, then as a civil assistant representing political subdivisions in the district.
Mark received his undergraduate and graduate education in English at Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe, Louisiana (now University of Louisiana at Monroe). He then attended Baylor University School of Law on the Jones Scholarship, serving on the Board of Governors and graduating in 1984.
Mark is a member of the State Bar of Texas and the Louisiana State Bar Association, and is admitted before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, and the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. He is an adjunct member of the Criminal Justice faculty at Bossier Parish Community College, has provided in-house training on commercial-law subjects and legal ethics for the FDIC/RTC, and has served as a Continuing Legal Education instructor on Daubert/Foret issues.
