NEW ORLEANS - Local attorney Eric A. Wright has been appointed to the Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Exhibition Hall Authority (“Authority”), the governing board of the New Orleans Ernest N.

Wright is the Managing Partner at Wright & Gray Law Firm in New Orleans. Wright has more than 22 years of experience related to civil litigation. He has demonstrated particular expertise in representing small businesses and restaurants throughout Louisiana.
