Adams and Reese Partner Billy Wright has joined the New Orleans Super Bowl Host Committee’s Hospitality and Events subcommittee, which will play an integral role in planning hospitality events and efforts for Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025.
The Host Committee, led by the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and the New Orleans Saints, is charged with the City’s preparations for the event and working with the NFL before the big game. This is the 11th time that New Orleans will host the NFL championship game, with the last Super Bowl in New Orleans in 2013.
Wright sits on the board of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, which attracts and manages sporting events generating a positive impact on the New Orleans economy. A study by the University of New Orleans showed a $500 million impact in economic activity the last time New Orleans hosted the Super Bowl.
At Adams and Reese, Wright focuses his legal practice on professional liability, management liability, employment, general insurance defense, and on a wide array of litigation, including contract disputes, business torts, and disputes pertaining to successions, wills, and trusts. He is recognized by his peers and clients as among Louisiana’s Rising Stars by Super Lawyers, as well as by Best Lawyers’ Ones to Watch.
Wright earned both his J.D. and Bachelor of Science at LSU.
