Jane C. Alvarez

Jane C. Alvarez is an attorney with Scott Vicknair in New Orleans who works in the firm’s Succession and Estate Planning Division. Alvarez focuses heavily on successions and helps clients navigate the legal process that follows a death, including the practical and procedural issues involved in administering an estate. Her broader background includes general civil practice, family law, and collections, giving her experience with legal issues that can intersect with succession matters.

Alvarez graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, and later attended Loyola Law School in New Orleans. As a third-year law student, she worked as a student practitioner in what is now the Stuart H. Smith Law Clinic and Center for Social Justice. That clinic experience gave her direct client-service training while she developed practical legal skills before entering full-time practice in Louisiana.

After law school, Alvarez briefly worked with a solo practitioner handling a general civil practice and then spent more than twenty-five years with a small firm. During that period, her practice became largely focused on successions, exposing her to a broad range of estate-administration questions and family dynamics. She later joined Scott Vicknair to continue working with clients on successions and estate planning in a dedicated practice group.

Jane C. Alvarez is licensed to practice law in Louisiana and is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association. Alvarez’s long succession-focused background helps her guide clients through estate administration with attention to the legal requirements, family circumstances, and practical decisions that arise after a death. Her work is centered on making the succession process understandable while helping clients move matters forward in an orderly and legally supported way.
