Our Company

About us

The Sulzer Group is a Louisiana limited liability corporation founded by Karen Sulzer, a project manager and Deborah Sulzer, a 25 year veteran attorney with national experience in mass tort litigation. The founders, both natives and residents of New Orleans, Louisiana, identified a unique need and opportunity in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the devastation that followed to assist entities dealing with the overwhelming task of rebuilding and recovering from the unprecedented damage following the event. Since then, the Company has assisted multiple applicants in multiple disasters across the country manage the daunting and sometimes frustrating process of recovery. Along the way, the firm has developed a unique arsenal of seasoned professionals in multiple disciplines to direct and re-direct disaster recovery efforts at all levels. It is the unique mix of talent that sets the company apart from the run of the mill engineering or project management firm. Building upon prior experience in litigation and project management, the firm has built a well-respected consulting firm recruited around the country by applicants based upon the successes here in Louisiana.
