LSU Law alumni are well represented on this year’s Forty Under 40 list of the Baton Rouge area’s rising young professionals who “play a key role in making the Capital Region a better place to call home.”

Chenvert, a partner at Fletcher, Roy & Chenevert LLC, tells the magazine his most fulfilling professional moment has been “helping to recover over $1 million for women and Hispanic farmers discriminated against when they tried to get farm loans.”
