I mean Jones Walker probably charges Shell or other really large business $1000+/hour to handle matters in Louisiana
Jones Walker is probably the highest rates in LA and probably top out around $900.
Some Big Law has gotten over $1000 for associates. OP mentioned NYC, Susman, and Quinn have partners billed at over $4000 an hour.

Probably realizing a bit less than that in a restructuring practice.

about 25-30 years ago Gordon / Arata in New Orleans was charging some of their larger O& G clients upwards of $1000.00 / hr
That’s when title lawyers charged by the page. You would hit a long mortgage in the abstract and make more than that.

Yeah I read these rants on td.com about Louisiana lawyers and I just shake my head; they have no idea. My buddies in Texas or Florida laugh at both the hourly rates and the judgments we get down here. It's a pittance to them.
I think La. courts get a bad rap because it's easy to squeeze out a soft tissue $10-15k settlement, and that's the kind of case that's most directly visible to Joe sixpack. But that's nothing in the grand scheme of things.

There’s a bunch of Louisiana based firms with some older partners around $700-900. Mostly Phelps, Adams & Reese, Kean Miller, Taylor Porter, Jones Walker, Fishman, Baker Donelson. As for $1k plus, I’m sure there’s a few folks in New Orleans offices of New York firms who are into the thousand range.
